One more f/r question. I'd like to change these to three-character fractions:

1½ pounds fresh crabmeat, picked over for shells
1½ cups fresh corn (or frozen corn, thawed)
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
¾ cup chopped celery
¾ cup finely chopped yellow onion
1½ cups mayonnaise
¾ teaspoon dry mustard
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2½ cups saltine cracker crumbs, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed


Is there an easy way for it to find all fractions that are symbols and replace them all at once?

I'd like there to be a space between the replaced fractions when necessary, such as the black pepper doesn't need one but the saltine cracker crumbs do, like this:

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups saltine cracker crumbs, divided

Right now I do a normal f/r on each fraction to find ½ and replace with 1/2. Then I go back through and manually add a space where one is needed, such as fixing the 21/2 to 2 1/2.

I'm sure there's an easier way that I could learn? Thanks again!!!
