Default Extract Fractional Numbers as Numbers NOT Date

I exttract 3/8 from an Alpha-Mumeric String. When I try to use it in
Calculation it uses the serial no. of the date rather than a number.

Cell A1 PL3/8x5
Cell A2 3/8 extracted from A1
Cell A3 =A28*1 Displays 38419.00
I need it to return .375

Is there a format or calc to fix this
