fractionsmath-mode
I want to have written words in a fraction but to have them in correct fraction form and not crude-looking. So, I have;
$\displaystyle\frac{Actual Value of Production}{Demand}$ x $100$
But it makes the text appear in math-mode so all italics with no spaces and looks awful. If I remove the $ it just won't appear.
Any help?
The code below should work:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\begin{document}
Degree symbol in plain text works: 90° is a right angle.
Degree in math now work: $\cos(90\degree) = 0$.
\end{document}
You can use the command \mathrlap from the mathtools package.
MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
Displaystyle version
\[\dfrac{1 - \left(\dfrac{r-3}{r-1} \right)^{\mathrlap{k-(p+q)+1}}}{1 - \left(\dfrac{r-3}{r-1} \right)}\]
\bigskip
Here is the inline version $\frac{1 - \left(\frac{r-3}{r-1} \right)^{\mathrlap{k-(p+q)+1}}}{1 - \left(\frac{r-3}{r-1} \right)}$
\end{document}

another possibility, requiring
amsmathis this:since it's unlikely to be embedded in text, using "display" coding is preferable to the inline
$...$input.warning:
\textwill follow the style of the surrounding text, so if this is included within the statement of a theorem, it will be set in italic. in such a situation, it's better to use\textrm.
