hi Mandy

No that's not right.

This is what I want to see:

[math]2 + 2 = 4[/math]

Bob

I want you to start using Latex.

Please type what you see in the code box above and post it.

Bob

Still not right.  It has to be square brackets.  On my keyboard they are next to letter P.

Bob

Yes! 

try this:

[math]\frac{1}{2}[/math]

Bob

Yes it is.  Hurray! 

Now for a sum:

[math]\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}[/math]

I've got to go out for about an hour but you can carry on practising with some that you make up for yourself.  I'll take a look when I get back.

Bob

yes see post 437

Bob

I'm back.

Try

[math] \frac{23} {24} + [math] \frac{31} {40} - [math] \frac{19} {20}

Have a look at what came out in post 442.  It isn't quite right is it?

Latex can be very fussy about spaces in the wrong places.

You can edit a post.  Picture below shows what to click.

Then you click submit again to send the new version.

Then post another reply because new posts make a beep on my computer so I'll know you've done it.
