Mike's mention of the level app on his phone reminded me of an app I found a few months
ago and have been using quite often for my bookcase project.

Fraction Calculator Plus

The app puts 3 keypads on the screen so that you can directly enter the integer portion, the
numerator and the denominator.

1 15/32 + 3 5/8 = 5 3/32

If you want, you can tap a button to see a scratchpad type screen showing a "handwritten"
breakdown of the steps required to get the answer. That screen also shows you the decimal
version of the answer, e.g. 5.09375


P.S. Their website says "#1 Top Rated by Woodworker's" ;-)


Don't they teach fractions in school anymore?


I'm too busy cleaning up the router shavings with a broom to do any math.
