Step 1: Input the First Mixed Fraction

Begin by entering the details of the first mixed fraction. Complete the following fields:

• Whole Number 1: Enter the whole number part of the first mixed fraction. This should be a whole number.
• Numerator 1: Enter the numerator of the fractional part. Ensure the value is zero or greater.
• Denominator 1: Enter the denominator of the fractional part. This must be a number greater than zero.

Step 2: Select the Operation

Choose the mathematical operation you wish to execute on the two mixed fractions. The available operations include:

• Addition (+): To sum the fractions.
• Subtraction (-): To find the difference between the fractions.
• Multiplication (×): To multiply the fractions.
• Division (÷): To divide the first fraction by the second.

Step 3: Input the Second Mixed Fraction

Now, enter the second mixed fraction’s details. Fill in the following fields:

• Whole Number 2: Input the whole number part of the second mixed fraction. This should also be a whole number.
• Numerator 2: Enter the numerator of the fractional part. Ensure it is zero or more.
