I am doing

declare @temp money,
@numdays int

select @numdays=35

select @temp=@numdays/30
select @temp as temp


it's returning 1 but it should return 1.1666
what do I need to do to return it as a money or float?
num days will always be a integer but dividing it by 30 should not

take 30.0 instead of 30
