Challenge: Fraction Calculator

I have built a site to teach math but I don't have enough time to build the math tools that I would like to. If you wish to help I will make posts about the tool I would like made. I will not be using the tool to make money. It will be placed on the site as free to use. Simply post a link to your code and the one with the most up votes wins. Make sure to display a name and email contact on your tool. The first challenge is to make a fraction calculator that takes fraction inputs and performs the operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division the result must be presented as either a mixed number fraction or a proper fraction. BONUS: There should be a button to convert from mixed number fraction to an improper fraction. You can only use html5, css3 and Javascript. You can also use any libraries or APIs you wish.

The challenge is not bad itself but I would highly recommend you to try coding it by yourself, you would improve a LOT (though it's not really a matter of time since it can be done really quickly)

Well, one word: congrats! Every teacher should be as concerned as you are in making his pupils REALLY understand the meaning of their courses. Visualising maths really is important and I appreciate your efforts accomplishing it. I will give a try to your request when I'll have time for sure!! (also, you probably know it but if you don't, may this youtube channel give you some inspiration about maths videos: https://youtu.be/mvmuCPvRoWQ (here is a simple example of all his work))

No no, he's right and asking that project as a challenge is a good idea since he spares his time and let beginner programmers practice coding ^^

Sure... ^^ We will lose our time to let you spare yours @@ Anyway, you have at least the honesty to tell the truth, without posting false challenge topic for stealing purpose... but basically, that's same kind of shameful lazyness ;P

I am a Math and Physics teacher so in addition to creating math videos and questions I also have physics I have to do hence I have no time for it. I know it is simple I know how to code it but I am not putting the coding of it as a high priority.
