No floating point support :-) But even then, be liberal with spaces
PERMINUTE=$(( 29 / 432000 ))

Thanks Andy, that resolved the error, but returns $PERMINUTE as 0. It
should be something like .00067xxxxx. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,
Mike
This should work for you:
PERMINUTE=$(echo "5 k 28.95 432000 / p" | dc)
I find dc (man dc) very useful for floating point arithmetic.
