How to make 1/8.-3 length?
It is an error to use dots with divisions. Instead you must expand each
one with get-ratio to get the equivalent ratio, and then you can add
the division.
(get-ratio '1/8. :ratio)
--> 3/16
Add division:
3/16-3
Now it works:
(get-ratio '3/16-3 :ratio)
--> 1/16
RULES
Division and dot can be added to any ratio.
Division cannot be added to a dot, or vice versa.
