Most people use 1/12 and multiply that by the number of months to get their decimal age. HOWEVER this is not exact because you are often a fraction of a month old, AND not all months are the same length.

To figure out your age to an exact decimal, first add up the days until your next b-day (example: if today is April 27th and my b-day is July 10th, I would add 3 days + 31 days + 30 days + 10 days). Now, divide that number by 365. Write down the decimal you get. Now, do 1 - (the decimal you wrote down). You will get another decimal. Just add your age in years, and you have your decimal age!

*This is fun because afterwards you get to brag, "I'm 17.7392649092739... years old!*

Note: Use a calculator to make it easier! You can use memory on your calculator for the part where you subtract the decimal from 1.
