Hmmm.  Either should work.

\begin{displaymath}
\frac{1}{2} = 0.5
\end{displaymath}

doesn't work?  Are you sure you have all the {'s and }'s in the right
places?  Let us know how it turns out.

 I'm not sure what's going wrong, either.  It should be that whenever you
 type $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$ or

 \begin{displaymath}
 \frac{1}{2} = 0.5
 \end{displaymath}

 you should get a nicely formatted statement that "1/2 = 0.5".  Are you
 setting the math off using $$ or \displaymath?

  	I'm having trouble getting my fractions to
display nicely (or
 indeed comprehensibly) in LaTex.  Using (in either displaymath or
 eqnarray mode):

 \frac{numerator}{denominator} = "whatever else"

 puts everything i type in and after the denominator in the denominator, ie

 numerator/denominator="whatever else"

 i can't see what it is i'm doing wrong from the not so short guide; i'm
 sure it must be really obvious

 any suggestions?
