how can i enter a mixed number into a scientific calculator? if i enter the mixed number, for example, 8 3/8 - 2 5/8 i dont want it to look like 83/8 to look like eighty-three over eight.
Let's not worry about the calculator....let's try this, instead
[8 + 3/8] - [2 +5/8] =
8 - 2 + 3/8 - 5/8 =
6 - 2/8 =
6 - 1/4 = "borrow" a whole number, 1 = 4/4
5 + 4/4 - 1/4 =
5 + 3/4
And that's it !!!
