When
placing extensions on a chart a figure of 34:7 appears below
a figure of 34:44 - why is this so?
Answer:
The figures shown are in Fractions.
In this particular case the figure after the ':' shows just
the numerator.
34:44
is actually 34:44/128th
34:7 is actually 34:7/128ths
34:7
is therefore less than 34:44
