Well, strictly speaking your syntax is ambiguous, though of course there's no real ambiguity about what you meant.

Still, it would be awesome if you'd gotten a bunch of 5th grade kids to teach you how to convert decimals to fractions. My fifth-grade teacher got me to teach her how to convert from decimal to binary once; it was a great pedagogic tool.

Also, yay you for teaching kids math!
