I'd like to copy this data into a spreadsheet so I can do some calculations. I'd like to avoid having to type the data.

If I preformat the cells as text and use Paste Special with the text option, I can get them to come in as text. But what I'd really like to do is get the numerator and denominator into separate cells.
