to save time, I would suggest switching calculators and also recommend using an online scientific calculator to reach your goal. If the manual for your device is bad, you can look into getting a new calculator. Thank you.
You can either use the slash key / or if you are using Word you can insert am equation
At the top of Word click the insert button, third from the left.
Then on the far right click insert equation. There you have an option to put in almost any mathematical symbol. You could use either the division or fraction sign.
The calculator has two Input/Output Modes: The MathIO and LineIO modes. Line IO is the old input mode where all symbols are written on a single line. MathIO permits fractions to show as they would in a textbook (a horizontal fraction bar and two squares, one on top and the other at the bottom. Pi can be used as Pi and irrational square roots are displayed with the root symbol. etc,, If you are in MarhIO and you get a result with fractions, radicals, or pi. you can readily convert it to its decimal approximation by pressim the SD key. If you enter some expression with fractions and radicals and you do not want the result displayed with fractions or radicals you press SHIFT = instead of =, Now if you do not care to have ANYTHING displayed as a fraction, radical or with PI, just set the IO mode to the old LineIO. To effect that, press SHIFT MODE to enter the SETUP. Select 2:LineIO. From that moment on you will no longer see a fraction, nor a radical nor PI, e,
If you ever reset the calculator, the MathIO mode will be restored as default IO mode.
To convert a single result from symbolic (fraction) to decimal, press the S--D button. To have all results come out in decimal, press SHIFT MODE 2 to switch to the LineIO mode.
First put the calculator in degree mode.
To convert from fraction to a decimal number first enter your fraction or, mixed number. I'll convert a mixed number to a fraction first since, I don't have a key for the symbol that shows that a number is a fraction on my keyboard. Example: [3][A b/c][1][A b/c][2][A b/cd/e][ENTER]
3/2 should be entered at the home screen. While at the Home screen enter, [2nd][FD][ENTER]
1.5 should now be displayed at the Home screen.
As you can see it is really just using the [A b/c] key to enter in your fraction and, [FD] key to do the converting. The [A_b/cd/e] key isn't necessary because, mixed numbers will convert to decimal numbers just like fractions do. I just don't have the key to show a fraction symbol that the calculator uses. So to show that symbol, I used the / symbol with the fraction number.
A fraction is just division of the numerator by the denominator. So all you have to do is enter the division symbol in place of the fraction bar. If you are trying to enter a mixed fraction: for example 3 3/5 enter: (3+3/5) were the / is the division button or your calculator.
