| How do I enter fractions like 1/3 cup? | Type 1/3, or a mixed number such as 1 1/2, or a symbol such as the half sign. This tool keeps the fraction exact, so 1/3 cup is exactly one third of a cup, not 0.33. |
| Why is 236.5882365 exact? | A US customary cup is defined as 8 US fluid ounces, and 1 US fluid ounce is exactly 29.5735295625 mL, so 8 x 29.5735295625 = 236.5882365 mL exactly. |
| Why does code show 0.30000000000000004 for 0.1 + 0.2? | Floating-point numbers store binary approximations of decimals. Round for display, for example (1.5 * 236.5882365).toFixed(2) gives 354.88. This tool uses exact decimal math, so it never shows that error. |
