There is a trick to entering and using fractions. To enter 1/4 use:

= 1/4

Note the single space after the equal sign. This means you won't have to
waste time converting all you fractions to decimals.


You should also checkout the CONVERT() worksheet function. It makes it
easy
to convert tablespoons, teaspoons, cups, pints, quarts,etc.
