Hi. My sister got a new calculator and she wants to know how to change this. Eg she types in 12.60 + 12.30 ans she gets a fraction 249/10 but she wants to get a whole number with a decimal point. Thanks

Casio's used to do that, very handy at times.
IIRC it was one of the 10 modes listed just under the display, but I usually use Sharp and their clones.
