[LON-CAPA-users] Unreduced answers in Numerical Response

[Guy Albertelli II]

Hi Lars,

Well it allows a large pile of possibilities in the answer.


Meaning if you ask the question:

What is 3/5+3/10?


The student can just enter 3/5+4/9 and get it right.

Or enter 45/50

Seems like there is enough reasons that one could do a fraction
control option in numericalresponse

Something like:

<numericalresponse fraction="reduced" answer="0.166667">

With values like any, mixed, reduced etc.

Think this would be better in the problem or as a parameter?
