Question

What if I want to type an equation with a fraction bar? How do I do that?

Donagan

Top Answerer

The easiest way is to write the numerator, followed by a slash mark (/), followed by the denominator. For example, x/y, or (x + 3) / (y - 7).

On a Chromebook, write the fraction in parentheses. The numerator and denominator should be separated by a slash. Example: (a/b) is a fraction.
