- [Instructor] This[br]YouTube video will show you

0:00:02.896,0:00:07.063
how to use fractions on your[br]TI-84 Plus and the TI-83 Plus.

0:00:08.330,0:00:10.973
There's some slight[br]differences between the two.

0:00:10.973,0:00:15.140
For more good tuff go to my[br]website andyborne.com/math.

0:00:17.775,0:00:18.608
Alright.

0:00:21.763,0:00:23.170
First things first,

0:00:23.170,0:00:26.342
look over here on the[br]left side of the screen.

0:00:26.342,0:00:30.509
Press second and then the[br]plus symbol on your key pad.

0:00:33.550,0:00:37.060
The last key I press is[br]red so kind of watch that

0:00:37.060,0:00:40.142
and then choose number one About.

0:00:40.142,0:00:44.474
This is not gonna work unless[br]your calculator is upgraded

0:00:44.474,0:00:48.641
to the most recent version[br]2.55MP or higher will do fine.

0:00:50.763,0:00:52.484
Okay, the way to do it

0:00:52.484,0:00:56.422
to put in fractions is[br]to press the alpha key

0:00:56.422,0:00:59.201
followed by the y equals key.

0:00:59.201,0:01:00.866
This little menu pops up here

0:01:00.866,0:01:03.949
these other menus here do different things

0:01:03.949,0:01:06.930
but we're going to be concerned[br]with the first one frac.

0:01:06.930,0:01:11.734
The first one is n/d that's[br]numerator slash denominator.

0:01:11.734,0:01:15.017
And it puts in a template[br]where we can put in fractions

0:01:15.017,0:01:17.934
so how about we had 3/11

0:01:19.846,0:01:21.263
to alpha y equals

0:01:23.716,0:01:25.944
puts in the template

0:01:25.944,0:01:27.027
eight over 22

0:01:29.634,0:01:31.861
arrow over to finish that fraction

0:01:31.861,0:01:34.956
I press enter and the[br]calculator gives us the answer

0:01:34.956,0:01:36.497
as a fraction.

0:01:36.497,0:01:38.038
Nice.

0:01:38.038,0:01:40.558
Let's try a fraction with a mixed number

0:01:40.558,0:01:41.725
alpha y equals

0:01:43.550,0:01:47.717
how about 1/2 plus and[br]then how about one and 3/4

0:01:53.601,0:01:54.768
alpha y equals

0:01:55.626,0:01:57.336
and here we choose a second one

0:01:57.336,0:01:58.419
this guy here

0:01:59.677,0:02:00.666
there's the template

0:02:00.666,0:02:04.333
one arrow to the right[br]three arrow down four

0:02:08.496,0:02:10.994
1/2 plus one and 3/4

0:02:10.994,0:02:13.897
I press enter and you'll notice[br]that it delivers the answer

0:02:13.897,0:02:15.719
as an improper fraction.

0:02:15.719,0:02:16.721
That's fine.

0:02:16.721,0:02:19.668
Usually your math teacher[br]won't get mad at you.

0:02:19.668,0:02:24.290
But if it says to deliver[br]the answer as a mixed number

0:02:24.290,0:02:28.290
then what you need to do[br]is press alpha y equals

0:02:30.883,0:02:32.244
and then right down here

0:02:32.244,0:02:36.411
option number three will[br]convert it to a mixed number

0:02:37.836,0:02:39.805
and if it's a mixed[br]number it'll convert it

0:02:39.805,0:02:41.805
to an improper fraction.

0:02:43.405,0:02:44.496
So there you go.

0:02:44.496,0:02:46.246
Oh yes one more thing

0:02:47.321,0:02:49.154
you can take fractions

0:02:50.931,0:02:54.181
how about 1/3 to an exponent

0:02:57.524,0:03:02.036
like let's say we want to[br]cube it to the power three

0:03:02.036,0:03:05.369
look at that our answer 1/27.

0:03:06.772,0:03:10.939
Alright, well what if we want[br]to do this on the TI-83 Plus

0:03:13.490,0:03:15.965
we have to do a little bit[br]different procedure here.

0:03:15.965,0:03:19.298
We don't have the alpha y equals on this

0:03:20.207,0:03:23.424
but we can do fractions just the same.

0:03:23.424,0:03:27.091
My previous example lets add 3/11

0:03:28.679,0:03:31.109
and what I'm doing is I'm[br]putting it in parenthesis

0:03:31.109,0:03:32.605
with the division symbol in between them

0:03:32.605,0:03:34.789
that is the same thing as 3/11

0:03:34.789,0:03:37.289
plus parenthesis eight over 22

0:03:40.942,0:03:42.505
and it gives us the answer

0:03:42.505,0:03:44.677
but it gives us in the form of a decimal.

0:03:44.677,0:03:46.769
We can convert the decimal into a fraction

0:03:46.769,0:03:50.403
by pressing the math key on[br]the far left of the keypad

0:03:50.403,0:03:54.038
and choosing number one[br]convert to fraction.

0:03:54.038,0:03:57.705
And like so and here we are 7/11.

0:04:01.890,0:04:04.422
One thing to keep in mind

0:04:04.422,0:04:07.549
let's say that we want to[br]have it convert to a fraction

0:04:07.549,0:04:09.496
all in one step.

0:04:09.496,0:04:13.663
I'm gonna take the 1/3 to[br]the power three example

0:04:15.830,0:04:18.093
and our answer would be 1/27

0:04:18.093,0:04:19.497
but I'm going to press

0:04:19.497,0:04:22.693
before I press the enter key[br]I'm gonna press the math key

0:04:22.693,0:04:24.673
and I'm gonna select convert to fraction

0:04:24.673,0:04:27.440
so this is entirely all on one line

0:04:27.440,0:04:29.893
when I press enter now

0:04:29.893,0:04:33.110
it comes up instantly as one over 27.

0:04:33.110,0:04:36.126
So there it is, I hope that[br]this was helpful for you.

0:04:36.126,0:04:37.876
Thanks for watching.
