Hi Harm,
User specification of input only guessed at by me. :-)
Of course, for negative and positive input (e.g. -3/2):
(define (mixed-num x)
(let* ((n (numerator x))
(d (denominator x)))
(cons (truncate (/ n d)) (abs (/ (remainder n d) d)))))
But are you saying you also need the function to take any number as input, not
just a known fraction? Do you really want something like the rationalize
function ? The common mathematical term for 3 1/2 is mixed number, or mixed
fraction, by the way.
