Well, the english units are usually based on simple integer math... it's just
not consistent. Fractions are acceptable... So, 500:1 makes for a fairly easy
computations (like cups/gallon = 2x2x4:1), but still doesn't allow for simple decimal
movement. Just annoying enough...

In that case, maybe it should be $1200:1. Inflation hits us again!
