Inputting mixed numbers on HP50g

It appears the above solutions add keystrokes compared to just dividing the fractional portion and adding to the whole number, which is how I'm handling it now. I was simply hoping there was a setting buried somewhere that would allow direct fractional input in RPN mode.

Compared to the HP35s, the 50G would need ONE keystroke more. Instead of
3 . 1 . 4 ENTER you'd have to press
3 SPC 1 SPC 4 / +

I think that's not so much a difference.
