1. What is a Mixed Fraction?

A mixed fraction is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. For example, 2 1/3 represents two and one-third. This calculator performs operations on three mixed fractions with two operations between them.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator converts mixed fractions to improper fractions, performs the specified operations, and can convert the result back to a mixed fraction if needed.

\[ \text{Mixed to Improper: } a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \times c + b}{c} \]

Operations are performed left to right following standard arithmetic rules.

3. Importance of Fraction Calculations

Details: Mixed fractions are commonly used in everyday measurements (cooking, construction, etc.). Accurate calculations with fractions are essential for precise measurements and conversions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter whole numbers, numerators, and denominators for each fraction. Select the operations between them. All denominators must be positive integers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Whole numbers and numerators can be negative, but denominators must be positive.

Q2: What if my result is an improper fraction?
A: The calculator shows the result as a decimal. You can convert it back to a mixed fraction if needed.

Q3: Does the calculator simplify fractions?
A: The current version shows the decimal result. Future versions may include fraction simplification.

Q4: What's the order of operations?
A: Operations are performed left to right (no operator precedence).

Q5: Can I divide by zero?
A: No, division by zero will result in an error message.
