\(\frac{12}{10}\) would be correct if it was written \(4\times\frac{3}{10}\)

One of the quirks of us Brits is our love of mixed fractions. We see them everywhere from recipes (use \(1\frac{1}{2}\)lbs of flour) to road signs (motorway junction in \(1\frac{1}{2}\)miles).

Umpf. Mixed fractions. Not widely in use here: 600 g of flour, motorway junction in 1500 m (or 1,5 km)...
To each his own.

Anyway 4 3/10 is ambiguous: Wolfram Alpha suggests possible intepretations as: a date, a mixed fraction and a product. :)

Greetings,
Massimo
