Ok- I'm absolutely useless when it comes to maths- so does anyone here know any good websites that explain maths in the most simple aspect possible?

You need to be more specific. Fractions, geometry, trigonometry, algebra???

Do you mean simple arithmatic? Thats about as good as I get.

I can help you with math in its simplest form: 1+1=2.

Kinda all aspects of high school mathematics-I just need to know some maths sites basically- there used to be one I knew but can't remember at all (it's been like 2 years from I used it).
I suppose I'll need to read my old maths books-our teacher just thinks we spent summer studying this crap again.

Mainly it's stuff like converting decimals to fractions, standard form, etc etc.

Fractions and decimals were never my thing. Anyways, some easy ones..

¼=.25 ½=.50 ¾=.75 .25=25% .50=50% .75=75%

except for very large examples of one, where 1+1 would then equal 3

If you want something that will actually be a (very big) help, it is not a website but Isaac Asimov's Realm of Numbers is an excellent source of inspiration for those having trouble with any type of math. It breaks down the most complex ideas so that anyone can understand them. This book will get you past highschool algebra, calculus and imaginary numbers - and if you check out used bookstores, you can sometimes find it for under a buck!

That problem has plagued me for centuries. Thank you!

and then of course there is "bureaucratic" math, where 1+1 could also be equal to 1, 4 or "yellow"
