I am completely wrong. Thought more about the problem as I was driving to work. Much as it would be delightful for that to work, it doesn't work that way. The actual answer is 327758/373065 or .88.

See my post #96 and #85 by Dinsdale.
What is strange is so few, if any, mentioned that we now have handheld calculators that will handle fractions.
I wish I had put 1/13 in the chain along with 1/21 then even the stingiest pie slicer would have run out of pie to slice.
