Real Maths problem

Need help with a scoring issue

I have a range from 46 to 155

I must allocate points of 0 to 5 based on the range, where 46 = 0 points and 155 = 5 points.

How do I workout a score for x, where x is within the range 46 to 155


Thanks

(x - 46)(5/109)

But it won't be pretty!

In a more general form than Mona's ...

score=(x-x_min)*max_score/(x_max-x_min)

For your range it gives (for selected values):

46         0
   51    0.2294
   56    0.4587
   61    0.6881
   66    0.9174
   71    1.1468
   76    1.3761
   81    1.6055
   86    1.8349
   91    2.0642
   96    2.2936
  101    2.5229
  106    2.7523
  111    2.9817
  116    3.2110
  121    3.4404
  126    3.6697
  131    3.8991
  136    4.1284
  141    4.3578
  146    4.5872
  151    4.8165
  155    5.0000

Because 109 (155-46) is prime, non of your answers will be nice neat numbers.

Thanks to both of ye. Super answers.

I'm working out data on an excel sheet so untidy numbers are not a problem.

Cheers!
