Averages of Ratio
Message posted by Brenda (via 163.191.179.133) on April 18, 2001 at 2:14 PM (ET)

I calculated a ratio of fund balance to expenditure by fundbalance/expenditure. I then got seperate averages for my fund balance, expenditures, and ratio by dividing the totals of each by the total number of records. Is this an incorrect way to get an average of a ratio?
