Stacked Fractions in Mathcad 15

[StevenPorter]

As far as I know, vertically-stacked fractions are always displayed in Mathcad equations. Is there a way to display fractions in "x/y" format? This would be helpful for powers with fractions, e.g., x^(y/z) in large equations with lots of powers.

Yes, that's exactly what I need to do. Thank you.

I think I know the answer, but just in case ... Is it possible to do the same in Mathcad Prime ?

Given that you mean the last of the three examples - of course not - you really knew it, didn't you?

I still have a little bit of faith in PTC (don't worry, it wont last very long), so I would say I was about 95% sure about the answer. But just in case ...

There is not that much missing in Prime, though. All we would need is the ability to write a fucntion call of a function with two arguments in inline notation. The Strg-K trick can be replaced by the textstring-delete trick.

So the best we can come up in Prime is something like this:

Well, turns out I was right to ask the question, since I didn't know the horizontal divide symbol was available in Prime. My faith in PTC wasn't completely misplaced after all
