1. What is this Calculator?

This calculator performs operations between a whole number and two fractions (three terms). It can handle both addition and subtraction operations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( c \) — Whole number
• \( \frac{a}{b} \) — First fraction
• \( \frac{e}{f} \) — Second fraction
• \( \pm \) — Addition or subtraction operator

Explanation: The calculator converts all terms to have a common denominator, performs the operation, and then simplifies the result to its lowest terms or mixed number form.

3. When to Use This Calculator

Details: Useful for mathematical problems involving operations between whole numbers and multiple fractions, common in algebra, engineering calculations, and everyday math problems.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the whole number, both fractions (numerator and denominator for each), and select the operation between terms. Denominators cannot be zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my result is an improper fraction?
A: The calculator will automatically convert improper fractions to mixed numbers when appropriate.

Q2: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts negative numbers for any input field.

Q3: What if I get a zero denominator error?
A: Fractions cannot have zero denominators. Make sure both denominators are non-zero numbers.

Q4: How precise are the results?
A: Results are exact fractions reduced to simplest form, not decimal approximations.

Q5: Can this calculator multiply or divide fractions?
A: No, this specific calculator only handles addition and subtraction between a whole number and two fractions.
