I want to perform the below division operation in shell script and round the value.

val1=6000
val2=5000
res=val1/val2 ----> 1.2---> Round to 2

Please help.

Bad answer. Omit this post.

EDIT:
Did you thank it? Then I will re-write my original post, but it wasn't what you are looking for, it outputs a decimal number, without ceiling.

$ echo "scale=1; $val1 / $val2" | bc
1.2
