Casio fx-115 ES Calculator HELP?

  • Hello, my dad bought this calculator because target didn't have the standard calculators in stock and it was the last day I could get one before I got docked points. Well I'm too lazy to go to the store and I already opened this one anyway, but heres where the problem lies: Everytime I Subtract,add,multiply,divide etc. when i'm SUPPOSED to get a decimal, I get a FRACTION.... I tried messing around with it to try to get it so it can show me decimals, go into menu options, even reset the calculator but i guess thats what its supposed to give me? An example would be: If i punched in 25 <divided by sign> 23, it would give me a FRACTION of 25 over 23 instead of the DECIMAL... if anyone has this calculator and knows how to change it to decimals, any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. thanks, Chris

  • Answer:

    I had the same problem when I first bought mine. Here is what you do. Press the"SHIFT" button in the top left corner, then the "MODE" button on the top right. Select 2: Line10 This will always give you a decimal answer. When you want to switch back to fraction, just select number 1:Mth10 This is my favorite calculator because the fraction input key is awesome. Let me know if you need any further help. BTW. I still use this calculator and I am a sophomore in college. Good Luck Deirdre

I liked the answer about using Mode 2. Keep in mind that you can convert between Standard Form (with fractions and pi) or Decimal form by using the "S<->D" button. Use Mode 1 if you mostly prefer fraction answers and you can use the SD button to convert to decimal or use Mode 2 if you mostly prefer decimal answers and use the SD button to see the fraction.
