Questions & answers
How do I type a mixed number like one and a half?
Type the whole number, a space, then the fraction: 1 1/2. For a minus sign put it in front: -1 1/2. A whole number like 5 or a decimal like 0.75 also works.
It says “Write a fraction like 3/4”. What is wrong?
Use only digits, one / and, for a mixed number, one space. The top and bottom must be whole numbers: 1.5/2 is not accepted — write 3/4 instead.
How do I add fractions with different bottom numbers?
Make the bottoms the same first: 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6. The calculator shows this step with the smallest common bottom number.
Why is my answer shown as 3/2 and as 1 1/2?
Both are the same number. 3/2 is the improper fraction and 1 1/2 is the mixed number; use the one your teacher or recipe asks for.
How do I turn 0.375 into a fraction?
Open Decimal → fraction and type 0.375. Three decimal places means 375/1000, and dividing top and bottom by 125 gives 3/8.
How do I know which fraction is bigger?
Open Compare and type both. 3/5 = 24/40 and 5/8 = 25/40, so 5/8 is bigger, by 1/40. The steps show the common bottom number.
