1. What is Mixed Fraction Calculator?

This calculator performs operations on three fractions, where the first two can be mixed numbers (whole number + fraction). It supports all four basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator follows these steps:

\[ (m \frac{n}{o}) \text{ op1 } (p \frac{q}{r}) \text{ op2 } \frac{a}{b} \]

Calculation Process:

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions
Perform the first operation between the first two fractions
Perform the second operation between the result and the third fraction
Simplify the final result and convert back to mixed number if needed

3. Importance of Fraction Calculation

Details: Mixed fraction calculations are essential in many real-world applications including cooking, construction, and scientific measurements where quantities often include whole numbers and fractions.

4. Using the Calculator

Instructions:

Enter whole numbers, numerators, and denominators for each fraction
Select the desired operation between each fraction
Denominators cannot be zero
For division, the second fraction cannot be zero

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I leave a whole number blank?
A: Blank whole numbers are treated as 0 (making it a proper fraction).

Q2: How are negative numbers handled?
A: Negative signs can be placed on whole numbers or numerators. The calculator properly handles negative values in all operations.

Q3: What if the result is an improper fraction?
A: The calculator will convert improper fractions to mixed numbers when possible.

Q4: How is division by zero prevented?
A: The calculator validates denominators and will show an error if division by zero is attempted.

Q5: Are results simplified?
A: Yes, all results are reduced to their simplest form using the greatest common divisor.
