Say the number you wish to display in mixed number form is stored in x.
Do whatever math you want with x, then
disp Ipart x
disp (Fpart x)>Frac
It works on my '85.
If you want, you can replace x with Ans, and just run that when you want
it to give you your last answer in mixed numbers.
(to do your example, it would simply be 3+(9/16)+4+(5/8) and then run the
program.)
