I have 6 assignments with a maximum number of points at: 20,10,60,30,40. I use this scale and assign fractional grades, such as 15.5 points. However this doesn't seem to be a possibility in Moodle (am I wrong?). No problem, I figure I can just double the number of points each assignment is worth and use integer scores. However one of my assignments is worth 60 points and it doesn't look like I can set the scale to 120. Any ideas on how I can do this? Is there any way where I can set all assignments to 100 points and then assign weights in the gradebook?
Any ideas appreciated.

I think you can do that by creating weighted categories in the Gradebook (in the Advanced features). If you create a category for each assignment, you can set for each assignment a grade out of 100, then specify in the Category weight if it is worth 20 or 60% of the final grade. More information here. I think you'll have to change a couple of things in the 'Set preferences' menu of the Gradebook too, to actually use the weights and make the 'View grades' menu less confusing.
