Symbol explanation

[smart_10357]

Hello again,

I am formatting fractions again

Example 1/4 = 4/?

1/4 = ?/12

I am looking at an example in the presentation of UEB Technical Higher Learning Math (2019 NBA Conference) and they put a dot 46 before the 34 (fraction line). Is this correct?  I cannot find an example in the Guidelines.

Thanks,

Susan

So I went to UEB Online and downloaded the pdf's for math. Please take a look at #6 on the attached page 57. I have also included my braille to see if I am on the right track.

Susan,

Yes, you are correctly using the general fraction indicators with the general fraction line in a fraction that includes something other than digits, decimal points, commas or separator spaces. In Guidelines for Technical Material part 6.4, general fractions are discussed, and examples are given.

So, while ¼ would be transcribed: #a/d
A fraction like "question mark over 4" is not a simple numeric fraction and so is transcribed using the general fraction indicators and general fraction line:
;;(8./#d)
