Mixed fractions calculator



The calculator performs basic and advanced operations with mixed numbers, fractions, integers, decimals. Mixed fractions are also called mixed numbers. A mixed fraction is a whole number and a proper fraction combined, i.e. one and three-quarters. The calculator evaluates the expression or solves the equation with step-by-step calculation progress information. Solve problems with two or more mixed numbers fractions in one expression.

Result:

1.5 = 3/2 = 1 1/2

Spelled result in words is one and one half (or three halfs).

Calculation steps

  1. Conversion a decimal number to a fraction: 1.5 = 15/10 = 3/2

    a) Write down the decimal 1.5 divided by 1: 1.5 = 1.5/1
    b) Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.)
    1.5/1 = 15/10
    Note: 15/10 is called a decimal fraction.

    c) Simplify and reduce the fraction
    15/10 = 3 * 5/2 * 5 = 3 * 5/2 * 5 = 3/2


Examples:

• sum of two mixed numbers: 1 3/4 + 2 3/8
• addition of three mixed numbers: 1 3/8 + 6 11/13 + 5 7/8
• addition of two mixed numbers: 2 1/2 + 4 2/3
• subtracting two mixed numbers: 7 1/2 - 5 3/4
• multiplication of mixed numbers: 3 3/4 * 2 2/5
• comparing mixed numbers: 3 1/4 2 1/3
• changing improper fraction to mixed number: 9/4
• What is 3/4 as a mixed number: 3/4
• subtracting mixed number and fraction: 1 3/5 - 5/6
• sum mixed number and an improper fraction: 1 3/5 + 11/5
