Hi, Kim!
I didn't think we were allowed to alter text by inserting hyphens. I
personally feel it reads easier with a space between the whole number and
fraction and unless mandated, would NEVER take the time to insert hyphens in
mixed fractions. So, be forewarned if it is a pet peeve of yours that you will
not like my submission after proofreading Bakewise.
