You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Note: to multiply and divide fractions, you MUST convert mixed fractions to improper fractions. So for example, the mixed fraction \"1%261%2F2\" converts to the improper fraction \"3%2F2\" (ie \"1%261%2F2=3%2F2\")\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"1%261%2F2\" times \"5%262%2F3\" becomes\r
