About a TI84 calculator?

Question

does anyone know how to change a decimal to a fraction using the ti 84 because on my regular scientific calculator all you have to do is press the ab/c button and it does it for you. thanks

Answer 1

It's quite easy.

Here is an example:

Type in .4 + .2

you will get .6

Now, if you want the fractional representation, then

go to math press 1, then enter

and that will give you 3/5.

Who gave me thumbs downs, for this correct answer ?

Nobody else knew how to do it and besides I teach using the TI-84 calculator.

trailblazer1225: Obviously your school is terrible, because you can change a decimal to a fraction on the TI.

Answer 2

nope the 84 is pretty lame. If this really matters to u get a 89 or a n-spire

Answer 3

you cant. i have the calculator too. (my school says you cant do it)

that's a limitation of the calculator, i guess.

Answer 4

to turn a decimal to a fraction you have to enter the decimal, then press [MATH]  [1:►Frac]  [ENTER].  [ENTER]. For example, to convert .25 to a fraction you do this: [.25]  [MATH]  [1: ►Frac] [ENTER]. [ENTER]. hope i helped.

Answer 5

go into 'math' I think then 'number'? I don't have one in front of me but you can definitely do it.
