So when calcuating ERA you had damn well not use 3.1 innings pitched...
right? ... when you calculate ERA based on 9 innings. So you gotta use the fractions 1/3 or .333 repeating for outs.

See that is sucky as the anitquated tote board system. Everything based on two dollars, or one dollar depending on what you are looking at, and the the mighty .20 payoff system and oh we can never have odds of 11/3 because Americans dont get fractions.

BTW: has anyone ever seen anything like 11/7? I dont think I have ever seen an 7 as a denominator...

Americans are fine with a 2 as a denominator 9/2 but dont dare put 9/4. Why is it there are some fractions we never see in American racing? Come to think of it I hardly ever see a 3 in the denominator.

So I will review denominators and will humbly ask the board for corrections.

2 fine
3 cant handle (1/3...?)
4 cant handle (1/4? i guess 2/5 is close enough for us?)
5 fine for a numerator of (1,2,3,4 or 9)
6 cant handle
7 cant handle
8 cant handle
9 fine only in 1/9
