text: what is the difference between 3/5 and 9/8 as a decimal?   3/5 = 0.6 9/8 = 1.125  so 0.6 - 1.125 = -0.525  or depending on whch way you do it  1.125 - 0.6 = 0.525  or:  3/5 - 9/8 = 24/40 - 45/40           = - 21/40           = -0.525  and it works the same the other way round.  hmm, did i do that correctly?  ;p
