Mathcad Prime gives me 11.833 as answers but need to get and show the equivalent fraction 71/6.

How can we convert from decimal to fraction?

It appears you cannot.

In version 15 you could format your result as a fraction.  If you do that and convert to Prime (3.0) the result is a decimal.  Prime (again, 3.0) does not have "fraction" as a choice in Math Format.

Unfortunately I didn't bother to install Prime 3.1 (just 3.0) and so I can't read your file and don't see what you are doing.

As Fred already stated is the inability to format a result as fraction one of the many missing features of Prime (compared to Mathcad).

Maybe you could use symbolic evaluation?
