Division problem

[Eric7Giants]

Hello. I'm working on a problem where I ask a user for input on 3 test scores in the format "score/max" and then I am to find the average. I am running into trouble with the code though. I attempted to break the code down to find the error. Here is what I have so far:

*** Note this is python 2.7. I know it's obsolete but the assignment requires it to be done in 2.7***

#!/usr/bin/python
import math
import string
from string import split

first = raw_input("Please Enter your First exam score in the form score/max: ")
first_numerator = eval(first.split("/")[0])
first_denom = eval(first.split("/")[1])
first_score = ((first_denom / first_numerator))
print(first_score)

I checked the first_denom and first_numerator to make sure it is splitting up the scores correctly and they are.

Please Enter your First exam score in the form score/max: 96/100
96 #first_numerator
100 #first_denom

When I run this block of code, though, it only prints 0. What am I missing here?

In Python 2, you get integer division by default (i.e. any fractional part is thrown away). If you want floating point division, you have to make one of the operands a float.

Also, on lines 7 and 8, there's no need to use eval - just use int (or float regarding the above).
