Mixed numbers (e.g., 1 12) are common in carpentry, cooking, and everyday measurements, but they are notoriously difficult to calculate with directly. This tool automates the process by converting mixed numbers into improper fractions, finding the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD), performing the operation, and simplifying the result back into a readable mixed number.
