I know there's a button you press.
But I'm not sure which one. I have a TI-83 graphing calculator.

I don't know of one on the graphing calc. There are scientific clacs that can switch from fraction to decimal but not the reverse.
Hey, the anwer below mine works on a TI-82 too, never saw that before.

If you are using a scientific calculator, there is a button which has the mark "a/b" or something similar to that. Just press that button and it will display the equivalent fraction of the decimal you have entered.

When having a decimal in a calculater, for example .343 you multiply this number by 10 which equals 3.430 and then you put it over a 100 (on paper) but it's an improper fraction so you divide 430 by 100 which equals to 4 and 30 remainding, then you add the whole numbers (3+4) and you get 7 and then you put your 30 over a 100 So it would be 7 and 30 over a 100 but you have to simplify so instead of 30 over a hundred you will reduce it to 3 over 10 So the final answer would be 7 and 3 10s.

17 is a prime number so it will not simplify. The only way to do it, is by long division, which you say you are not supposed to use??!! sorry. I dont know any other way than 40 into 17 = 0 40 into 170 = 4 remainder 10 40 into 100 = 2 remainder 20 40 into 200 = 5 no remainder = 0.425

if you are using a graphing calculator .......after you come to the decimal you need in order to complete the problem hit math and select fraction and just press enter........you can also do the same for fractions

your decimal is just the number you have (let's say it's .85) over the value of the last digit (hundredths) so its 85/100- just simplify. or use the fraction button to help you- it's the one that has Ab/c on it...

After you get the decimal, hit MATH, then put in >Frac. Hit enter again and you should get the answer in fraction form.

When your fraction is on the screen, just press MATH then ENTER.
Then press ENTER again.
