Sed help (for bash scripting)

[Pu-239]

I'm trying to remove everything after the first number with sed in this sequence:
0.89 0.77 0.73 2/47 1601 (from /proc/loadavg) then turn it into a whole number for use in a script.

cat /proc/loadavg|sed s/?.??//2|sed s/?.??//2|sed s/*\/*// doesn't work.

And how do you multiply or round numbers in a shell script?

Try using awk instead of sed.

I'd like to answer your question, but I don't want to deprive you of doing your own homework

It would be a great deal easier to do that in python.
