Scales help - newbie

Hi all. First time I've posted so apologies if it's in wrong place. I have just bought new bathroom scales but unlike my old ones that weighted for example 200.8lbs my new ones now have the decimal point as a fraction for example 200 3/4 lbs... My head has forgotten how to convert the fraction to decimal to put in myfitnesspal... I just can't seem to remember how to do it. Can anyone help please before I lose the plot with myself haha. Thank you.

Divide the numerator 3 by denominator by 4.
3/4= .75

Thank you.... So just put for example when the scales weigh 200 3/4lbs that would be 200.7lbs.... my brain stopped working since we've been on lockdown and I've forgotten how to do the simplest things haha... I know it's only ounces and doesn't matter but it's because my old scales showed it and I recorded it daily1
