Press the Shift/Mode key and set the Input/Output to MathIO.
Even that will not guarantee that the display will be in root form. Only square roots are possible.

I understand your frustration, but believe me there is nothing wrong with your calculator. You just have to invest a minimum amount of time to familiarize yourself with its powerful capabilities.
No matter. Your calculator has to input output modes. MathIO and LineIO. MthIO is new and it allows you to enter expressions as if you were doing it by hand (like in textbooks). LineIO is the old way.

In MthIO your displayed results are fractions or radicals (roots) or a mixture of the two. BUT if the screen cannot fit the fraction or radical form, the calculator will use decimal to display the result.

In LineIO you only have decimals results.

To get fraction or radical results configure the calculator to use MthIO. In this mode, if you want a result converted to decimal, just press the SD key. It will toggle between the two.

To set MthIO, press [SHIFT][MODE] and select [1:MthIO]
To set LineIO, press [SHIFT][MODE] and select [2:LineIO]

Hi suebie50

Have a great day.

To change the output to decimal form, you can do the following:
Go to Math mode, then SHIFT, MODE (set-up), 2 (lineIO).

The answer will show in decimal format.

SOURCE: my casio calculator is giving answers always in fraction form. I need to get the answers in decimal form (my calculator is fx-991ES)

To convert a single answer from symbolic to decimal, press the S--D key (just above the DEL key). To have all answers come out in decimal format, press SHIFT MODE 2 to switch to the LineIO mode.

Change the output display to MathIO. You may be able to display square roots only: so no cube roots, nor fourth...

On my casio fx-82au plus calculator it won't

The capability of these calculators to handle irrational numbers in radical form is limited to square roots. Roots of index other than 2 are always displayed in their decimal representation.
If the calculator IO mode is set to MathIO, square roots will be displayed with the radical symbol. More complicated expressions with square roots might not be preserved and will be given as decimal numbers.

Answers in decimals

The calculator has two Input/Output modes, MthIO and LineIO. In MthIO the results are displayed as fractions or as radicals or a mixture of fractions and radicals. What it means, is that in MthIO the calculator does exact calculations. Radicals in denominators are gotten rid of by rationalization, fractions are reduced to the same denominators before addition or subtraction. Fractions are reduced to simplest form.

In LineIO all results are displayed as decimal numbers.

If a result is exact (fractions and radicals) it can be changed to decimal form by pressing the S To D key, the one above the DEL key.

MthIO is the default IO mode. To set it, press SHIFT MODE and select 1:MthIO. To set LineIO as the IO mode, press SHIFT MODE and select 2:LineIO

Problems with fractions on the Casio fx-115es

Hello,
To convert fractions to decimals or decimals to fractions, you use the [S<->D] key. Each time you press the key the result is displayed in the other format.
Alternatively, If you multiply or divide two integer numbers put a decimal mark at the end of one of the numbers (any one). The result will be displayed in decimal format.

Hope it helps.
