1. What is Mixed Number Ratio?

The Mixed Number Ratio compares two mixed numbers by division. It shows the proportional relationship between two quantities, expressed either as a decimal or simplified whole number ratio.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ratio formula:

Where:

• \( mixed1 \) — First mixed number
• \( mixed2 \) — Second mixed number

Explanation: The calculator divides the first number by the second and provides both the decimal result and simplified whole number ratio.

3. Importance of Ratio Calculation

Details: Ratios are fundamental in mathematics, science, cooking, construction, and many other fields where proportional relationships need to be understood and maintained.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter two positive mixed numbers. The calculator will show the ratio as both a decimal and simplified whole numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a mixed number?
A: A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction (e.g., 2 1/2).

Q2: How is the ratio simplified?
A: The calculator finds the greatest common divisor (GCD) of both numbers and divides each by the GCD.

Q3: Can I use decimals?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal numbers as input.

Q4: What if I enter zero?
A: Both numbers must be greater than zero as division by zero is undefined.

Q5: How precise are the results?
A: Results are calculated with high precision and shown to 4 decimal places.
