3 1/2 can be entered in a formula as: 3 + 1/2 If you are then going to use
this in a calculation in the same formula like: 3 1/2 / 6 1/2 enclose the
additions in brackets:

=(3+1/2)/(6+1/2)

How should I key in fractional forms in Excel formulae, ie on the
scientific
calculator, there is the 'a b/c' key to use as the "stroke" in the
fraction,
so is there an Excel equivalent of that key (ie a symbol) or is it keyed
in a
different way?
