how do you do fractions on the calculator

Thanks Alan :)

Say you want to enter 3 and a half - 6 and a quarter

you do it like this

(3+1/2)-(6+1/4)     don't forget the brackets   :))

$$\left({\mathtt{3}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right){\mathtt{\,-\,}}\left({\mathtt{6}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right) = {\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{11}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}} = -{\mathtt{2.75}}$$

Click on the right side of the caculator bar where it says 'Scientific' and click 'Fractions'.

Did you check that it is working jdh?    For a while it wasn't but it might be fixed now :/

As of 11 August 2015 it still isn't working!
