@lnussdorfer ,
@rmurchshafer has given the simple answer. Since you're asking about a fraction from the template, this is probably the answer you're looking for.
At some point, you may need advanced capability and something that is not obtainable through the keyboard or from the palette. I thought I would extend his answer.
The last time I checked, there was no equivalent of "Switch View to Advanced" in the new equation editor. Instead you created it directly within the question itself using LaTeX, wrapped in \( and \)
What is the numerator of \( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3} \) ?
Something that is even more powerful is the ability to incorporate math equations with formula questions, which is also something that was missing from the legacy quizzes.
Evaluate the expression \( \frac{-`b` + \sqrt{`b`^2-4(`a`)(`c`)}}{2(`a`)} \)
If you need a large fraction, you can use \displaystyle to make the entire expression full size or \dfrac instead of \frac to make a single fraction large
Evaluate the expression \( \displaystyle\frac{-`b`+\sqrt{`b`^2-4(`a`)(`c`)}}{2(`a`)} \)
