Note: The results of math calculations will be shown as actual, not rounded, “kitchen-
fractions” (see following section for more details).
DISPLAYING ACTUAL FRACTIONS VS. “KITCHEN FRACTIONS”
A unique feature of your calculator is that it will display both actual
fractions and “kitchen fractions” during conversions or recipe scal-
ing calculations. That is, if the answer is 3/4 TBSP, it knows there is
no “3/4” of a tablespoon, or measuring spoon, available to measure
with; instead, it will show the
rounded
answer (i.e., 1 TBSP). For
more precise measuring, you can then press the [Conv] [/] keys to
display the remainder amount to add or subtract, or simply convert
the value to the next lowest cooking unit (e.g., TSP), to avoid the
remainder altogether.
“Kitchen Fractions,” or whole units or fractions displayed in recipe
scaling calculations or conversions, include:
