blue, that was kind of rude, considering that even your reiteration of the question makes no sense. The formula is the same, whether the IP happens to be an integer or not. Simply plug your 9.333 or 30.333 or even 0.3333 into the formula. What's the issue?

2 runs, 5 innings - 2*9/5 = 3.60 ERA
2 runs, 5 1/3 innings = 2*9/5.333333 = 3.375 ERA

I'm glad you were able to calculate ERA before some of us were born - but I fail to understand why you can do so with integer IP's, but not any other IP's.
