hi! I am having problems with my caculator. it is the complex kind of caculator. I have been trying to play around with it. when ever I use decimals with multiplication, division, subtraction, and addition, the answer is a fraction. doea anybody know how to use these kinds of caculators?
Yes, I bought one like that recently.
It was a Sharp ELW535X which displays maths expressions on multiple lines (by default). Therefore if I calculate 2/3= it gives me a fraction.
To get decimal, I pressed
setup
2:editor
1:line
and it the gave me 0.666666666 as answer.
However, every calculator is made differently, so you'll need to post the model of your calculator in order that someone could help you.
If it is the Casio fx-83ES (very popular in schools) and similar which also does this, press the S<>D key when the fraction is in the display and this will convert the fraction to a decimal.
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello! I can help you with your calculator problems. Complex calculators, also known as scientific calculators, are powerful tools that can perform various mathematical operations.
If you are getting fractions as answers when using decimals in multiplication, division, subtraction, or addition, it is most likely due to the settings on your calculator. There are typically two modes on a calculator: decimal mode and fraction mode. It seems like your calculator may be set to fraction mode, which is why it is giving you fraction answers instead of decimals.
To change the calculator's mode to display decimals, you should look for a "Mode" or "Settings" button on your calculator. Press this button, and you will see a list of options. Look for an option that allows you to switch between "Fraction" and "Decimal" modes. Select the decimal mode, and your calculator should start displaying answers in decimals instead of fractions.
If you are unsure about which button or option to look for on your specific calculator, I would recommend referring to the user manual that came with it. The manual will provide detailed instructions on how to change the display mode.
Once you have your calculator set to decimal mode, you should be able to perform calculations with decimal numbers without getting fraction answers. Remember to input your numbers correctly and use the correct symbols for each operation (e.g., * for multiplication, / for division, + for addition, - for subtraction).
