Calculations in fifths?
Yes!, can you help?

Umm, fifths would be .0, .2, .4, .6, and .8 so what is it you really
want? .5 is equal to 2 and 1/2 "fifths" not one.

Sorry, I would like a method to calculate simple mathmatical problems using
the decimal portion as fifths rather than tenths. in other words .50 would
equal 1 not 1/2.
Sorry for the confusion.

Hi M.A.
Your question is rather unclear,
=24.5-24.2 = 0.3 (yes that's right)
=20.4+0.1 = 20.5
=round(20.4+0.1,0) = 21
What are the fifths that you are talking about?
Regards
Martin

Is it possible to perform simple addition and subtraction in fifths?
something like 24.5 - 24.2=.3,
or
20.4 + 0.1=21
Thanks.
