Returning A Floating Point Average

Hi SQL people,
I have rating system on pages in my website, each page being rated one to five by users. At the back end, an ASP.NET page displays the average rating and number of ratings for each page. As the rating is stored as an integer, the SQL statement returns an integer average. I would like to get a floating point average. Currently the statement used to return the average looks like this:

select AVG(Rating) as AverageRating from Ratings where [RatingPage] = @RatingPage

Is there a simple way to modify this to return a floating point average without iterating through the records, or converting the Rating field to a float?

Thanks for helping!
