The TI-36X Pro calculator can display answers in exact fraction form, which may be inconvenient for users who prefer decimal results.

By navigating to the MODE menu and selecting CLASSIC instead of MATHPRINT, the calculator will display results in decimal form, including constants like pi. This adjustment resolves the issue of needing to use multiple calculators for different formats.

What is the command on the ti 36x pro to convert fractions to decimals? Thanks.

If you go to MODE and go to the very bottom, put it to CLASSIC instead of MATHPRINT. Problem solved!
