I am editing a document, in Pages, that includes a number of fractions, all expressed in the format x/y. Whether ragged right or justified, automatically hyphenated or not, these fractions occasionally split at a line end. How can I prevent this — in other words, how can I format such a fraction as "3/5" to behave as a single one-syllable word?
Question already asked and answered.
Insert, betwee 3 and / as well as between / and 5 the
NO-BREAK SPACE, ZERO WIDTH character.
It's Unicode value is $FEFF. it's easy to install it from the character palette .

As Yvan says don't use the 3/5 which is 3 characters, use the character ⅗.
