Dear Cameron,

You may have a look at

  http://www.lowerstandard.com/python/ACMsolutions.html

which contains two solutions ( 332gsl.py and 332gl.py) to the problem
posed on:

 http://acm.uva.es/problemset/v3/332.html which is the heavier part of
your question.

For the other part you may use the expression 1.0*p/q to convert
the fraction p/q into a float.

Have a lot of fun ;-)
