How do you add two fractional measurements together?

Adding fifty-five and three-eighths to sixty-three and a half means finding a common denominator in your head or converting to decimal and back, and both routes drop a sixteenth often enough to matter. Readings from the T1 Tomahawk land in the app's calculator in the fractions they were taken in, so the sum is worked in eighths and sixteenths directly. Nothing is converted, so nothing is rounded on the way through.

Two measurements are taken on a bench with the green line on the blade, the display reading in the fifties and then sixty-three and a fraction. Both are carried to a calculator on the phone, shown as a blue keypad, and entered as fractions rather than decimals. The sum is worked on the phone without the figures being converted first.
