With zsh:

Code:
% ((TABLEAVG=1280./44));print $TABLEAVG
29.0909090909

If you want to specify how many significant digits you want in the output (4 in the example below):

Code:
% declare -F4 TABLEAVG='1280./44';echo $TABLEAVG
29.0909

With ksh93(or dtksh on Solaris, for example):

Code:
$ typeset -F4 TABLEAVG='1280./44';echo $TABLEAVG
29.0909
