➜ App description
Scientific Fraction Calculator gives you the power of a portable calculator on your iPad or iPhone with full decimal and fraction capability! And now it even speaks!
It’s perfect for use in a math class where answers are required to be expressed exactly as fractions. Or perhaps you just need to add up some fractional measurements from a tape measure – the calculator can do that for you with ease.
You can enter numbers in either decimal notation (such as 2.5) or as fractions (such as 3/4). The program will accept mixed fractions (2 1/2 can be entered as 2/1/2) or it will accept improper fractions (such as 14/3). Once the calculation is complete you can instantly convert decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals just by pushing the "a b/c" key.
