text: four and a quart, times 50.\n\nThis equals 50 times 4, plus 50 times a quart.\nThis is 200 plus 50/4\nIntermediate result: 200 + 50/4\n\nHow many times can you take 4 out of 50?  12 times, remainder 2/4\nNext intermediate result:  200+12 + 2/4\n\n1/2 is the same as 2/4, but is the preferred way of writing it down.\n\nresult: 212 1/2\n\n\n\nFor any fraction:  (a/b) * (c/d)  equals (a*c) / (b*d).\n\nIt is alright to write down 50 as (50/1).\nIt is also alright to write down 4 1/4  as  (17/4)\n\nThus: 50 * 4 1/4  equals (50/1) * (17/4) equals (850/4)\nNormalize 850/4 just like I showed above.
