While working with my third grader, I discovered the need
to make 5/3 display and print as 1 2/3 so she can check her
homework.
I couldn't find a way to do this easily, so I wrote the following which
does the job. Is there an easier or better way?
Thanks. Jim Graber
Mix1[x_] := { Quotient[Numerator[x], Denominator[x]],
Mod[Numerator[x], Denominator[x]]/Denominator[x]}
Mix[x_] := Print[Mix1[x][[1]], Mix1[x][[2]]];
