Basic Examples  (1)

Represent the mixed quantity 1 foot, 2 inches:

Wolfram Language code: Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{1, 2}], MixedUnit[{"Feet", "Inches"}]]

Use it in Quantity operations:

Wolfram Language code: % + Quantity[10, "Inches"]

Scope  (2)

MixedMagnitude can be used in conjunction with MixedUnit in Quantity expressions:

Wolfram Language code: Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{9, 15, 27}], MixedUnit[{"Hours", "Minutes", "Seconds"}]]

MixedMagnitude can be used in conjunction with MixedUnit in QuantityArray expressions:

Wolfram Language code: QuantityArray[{MixedMagnitude[{1, 20}], MixedMagnitude[{7, 8}]}, MixedUnit[{"Meters", "Centimeters"}]]
Wolfram Language code: Normal[%]

Properties & Relations  (4)

Additions of Quantity expressions involving MixedMagnitude and MixedUnit specifications automatically convert some of them:

Wolfram Language code: qa = Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{1, 2}], MixedUnit[{"Feet", "Inches"}]]
Wolfram Language code: qb = Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{4, 3}], MixedUnit[{"Meters", "Centimeters"}]]
Wolfram Language code: qa + qb

QuantityDistribution automatically converts mixed Quantity expressions to non-mixed Quantity expressions:

Wolfram Language code: qa = Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{9, 80}], MixedUnit[{"Meters", "Centimeters"}]]
Wolfram Language code: qb = Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{2, 20}], MixedUnit[{"Feet", "Inches"}]]
Wolfram Language code: NormalDistribution[qa, qb]

MixedMagnitude specifications can be extracted using QuantityMagnitude:

Wolfram Language code: Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{1, 80}], MixedUnit[{"Meters", "Centimeters"}]]
Wolfram Language code: QuantityMagnitude[%]

Use UnitConvert to simplify mixed Quantity expressions to non-mixed Quantity expressions:

Wolfram Language code: q = Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{3, 17, 45}], MixedUnit[{"Days", "Hours", "Minutes"}]]
Wolfram Language code: UnitConvert[q]
Wolfram Language code: UnitConvert[q, "Minutes"]
