Re: Fractions 8 Years Ago by Taywin [Here](http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/74057.html) is talking about mediant of 2 fractions. However, I don't understand your statement "The mediant of two fractions a/b and c/d , given an integer n is the fraction(a+c)/(b+d)only if b+d" because it looks like it is cut off. What is your question regarding the mentioned portion? Fractions 11 Years Ago by poloblue …, I'm having problems with my program that deals with fractions.

I just went into Font Book and deactivated all the forms of Fractions I had. This seemed to work, as it hasn't happened since. I'm not sure what caused it, but I don't really care, since it isn't happening anymore, and I have no use for Helvetica Fractions anyway. :cheesy: Fractions virus on web and mail! 19 Years Ago by Jemstar does anyone know what is causing or how to fix this problem? every web page text which isn't embedded comes out as fractions, meaning i cant read a thing. any tips? thanks Re: Fractions virus on web and mail! 17 Years Ago by Shadow1 Hi I'm also having this problem, I have deleted the Helvetica Fractions fonts from my system, but it doesn't seem to have sorted the problem. I am running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger, the problem seems to happen in the mail application and Safari Web browser. I have also done a virus check but it came up with nothing. Has anyone any ideas please? Re: Fractions 8 Years Ago by JamesCherrill That's a good question. All the definitions of mediant that I found in a quick google had no use or meaning for such a parameter. Are you sure that method signature is right? Is there any supporting documentation? Re: Fractions 8 Years Ago by Taywin OK, that's strange. I understand that `a/b < (a+c)/(b+d) < c/d`, and that can be rewritten as `a/b < n < c/d`. Edited: Ah got it. It means that `b+d` can't be greater than the value of the result integer `n` or the result would be a fraction instead of an integer (less than 1). Re: Fractions 8 Years Ago by JamesCherrill In that case please explain it to me, because I'm still confused. n isn't the result of anything, it's an arbitrary value passed in as a parameter. And what's wrong with the result being a fraction? The method signature requires that the result IS a fraction. Re: Fractions 8 Years Ago by Vinolia ok now i understand what n does its just a condition to be met.Looking at the API above,method signature: Re: Fractions 8 Years Ago by Vinolia public Fraction mediant(Fraction that,int n) { //please correct me if am wrong with my math.i want to add farction such that the answer i //get is the mediant,e.g 1/0+1/1=1/2 and half will be the mediant that is 1/0,1/2,1/1 if(that.den()&&this.den<=n){ return n; } Denominator = this.getDenominator()+that.… Re: Fractions 11 Years Ago by TrustyTony > // e/f = (a/b) / (e/f) = (b * c) / (a * d) e/f = (a/b) / (c/d) = (a/b) * (d/c) = (a * d) / (b * c), you mean? Re: Fractions 11 Years Ago by Schol-R-LEA Ugh, you are correct, I got it backwards. Sorry if I misled you PoloBlue, especially given my ranting about careless instructions.
