Okay. Time to embarrass myself. What is the best way to divide this: 1/17 ? I just divided 100 by 17 and adjusted for decimal places to get a range. 100/17 is in between 5 and 6 so the range is .05 to .06? Is there a better way to do this? 😱

1/20 is 0.05 so 1/17 is slightly more than 0.05.

(1/17)*(6/6) = 6/102 ~ 6/100 = .06

(1/17)*(6/6) = 6/102 ~ 6/100 = .06

cool method; I like.
