Hello,
You bet it is a lot of help to know what calculator you are using.
I think I figured out what you mean. Your calculator, in some strange manner, changed from letting you input fractions in the old fashioned way, to a different one, where you have to use the arrow keys to get to the pigeon holes where numerators and denominators have to be typed in. Right?
In this calculator, the old fashioned way is called LineIO, or linear Input Output. The other (arrow way), is called MathIO.

Press SHIFT key then MODE. Enter 2 to select LineIO display format.

Hope it helps.

I get lots of little squares you can see the result but behind theres alot of little squares

The calculator belongs to a new generation of scientific calculators that enjoy the feature called MathPrint by TI, Natural Display by Casio, and WriteView by Sharp
When the calculator is configured to work with this Display you are shown a template as you would see on a textbook. The squares are the places where you enter the numbers. For example when you press the fraction key the calculator displays a the picture of a stacked fraction with one square on either side of the horizontal fraction bar. The square where the cursor is located and blinking appear dark. You start entering the numerator there, then you use the down arrow to move to the denominator. When fraction is finished you move the square away from the fraction to the main line using the right arrow key.
I hole this solves the annoying problem of the mysterious squares.
Please read the manual to learn about this feature so that you can decide whether to take advantage of it or not.

How to calculate 1.025^4

How to Use a TI-30XA
The TI-30XA is a scientific calculator with many functions. You can calculate problems with fractions and decimals, as well as solve problems of probability and functions. A scientific calculator computes the number sentence you type in using the order of operations: parentheses first, then roots and exponents, then division and multiplication and, finally, addition and subtraction.

Instructions
  1. How to Use a TI-30XA
    • 1

      Press the [ON/C] key to turn on the calculator. Press the [OFF] key to turn it off. To use the calculator in solar mode, put the solar panel in the light and then press the [ON/C] key. To turn it off when in solar mode, slide the calculator cover back on and it will automatically shut off.

    • 2

      Replace the batteries by first removing the cover and placing it face down. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the back panel. Remove the back panel and change the batteries. Screw the back panel back on. Press [OFF] [ON/C] and [ON/C].

  • Use the basic operation keys for addition [+], subtraction [-], multiplication [x] and division [/]. To change the signs of your values from positive to negative or vice versa, press the [+ -] key before the numbers you enter. Use the parentheses, [(] and [)], to command the calculator to solve what is inside the parentheses first. Press the [=] to solve the number sentence you entered into the calculator.

  • 4

    Find percents of a number by first typing in the number, then [x], then the percent number, [2nd], [%] and, finally, [=]. The [2nd] key allows you to use the commands that are written above each key. For example, to find 20% of 100, type in 100 [x] 20 [2nd] [%] [=] and the display will show the answer, 20.

  • 5

    Turn decimals into fractions by entering the decimal value, then pressing the [2nd] and [F D] keys, then [=]. Turn the fraction back into a decimal by pressing [2nd] and [F D] again. For example, to turn 0.5 into a fraction, type in 0.5 [2nd] [F D] [=].

  • 6

    Turn mixed numbers into improper fractions by entering the mixed number first. Type in the whole number, then the [a b/c] key, then the numerator, the [a b/c] key again and the denominator. Next, press [2nd] [d/c] [=], and the calculator will convert your mixed number into an improper fraction. Press [2nd] [d/c] again to turn it back into a mixed number. For example, to turn 1 1/2 into an improper fraction type in 1 [a b/c] 1 [a b/c] 2 [2nd] [d/c] [=], and the display will show the answer 3/2.

  • 7

    Switch the notation setting of the calculator between engineering, scientific and floating. To select scientific notation, press the [2nd] and [SCI] keys; this will display your answers in scientific notation as a number between 1 and 10 to a power of 10. Press [2nd] [ENG] to switch to the engineering setting; this setting displays values as a number with an exponent that is a multiple of 3. Press [2nd] [FLO] to switch to the floating setting. This is considered standard notation and will display the answer as a standard number.

  • 8

    Use the left arrow key to go back and delete numbers to the right of the cursor that you typed into the display. This must be done before you press [=]. To clear the screen, values and operations, press [ON/C] and [ON/C] again in battery mode, or [CE/C] and [CE/C] again in solar mode.


  • Hope it helps your problem. Thanks!

    It automatically rounds the solutions to my fractions as a whole number, how do you stop this?

    The number of decimal digits in your display is fixed to 0, so that all decimals are wiped out.
    To correct,
    Press the MODE button.
    On the second line you have FLOAT 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    Move cursor to that line then use right or left arrow to highlight Float or 1 2 3 .. Make sur that the number 0 is not highlighted.

    Changing 80% to a fraction in the lowest term

    You have to be careful. 80% is in fact 0.8.
    Turn the calculator ON.
    Enter the number 0.8
    If your calculator is set to Write-View you will see the number displayed as a stacked fraction 4/5. If it is already in this form, press the key marked change with two arrows. The display should show a fraction.

    If your calculator is set to LINE, you will see 4r5, where 4 is the numerator and 5 is the denominator.

    The key marked change allows you to change displayed result from decimal to fraction and from fraction to decimal. When a number is converted to a fraction, it will always be a fraction reduced to its simplest terms.

    On my TI-89 Titanium when i put 3587/7 it puts it into fraction form. how do i get it to decimal?

    You can convert any symbolic result to a numeric result by pressing diamond ENTER. If you want all results to come out numeric, press MODE F2, use the arrow keys to move down to the "Exact/Approx" line, press right-arrow, select "APPROXIMATE", then press ENTER. Press ENTER one more time to save the change and exit.

    I have installed the new operating system on my TI84 Silver Editions. It will not convert the square root of 5 to a fraction (thank goodness) but it does convert the square root of 720 to a fraction :( ...

    The calculator is showing you its best fractional approximation to the number. To not have it do that, press MODE, up-arrow four times to get to the "ANSWERS:" line, use left/right arrow to highlight "AUTO" then press ENTER. Press 2ND [QUIT] to exit the mode screen.

    Okay, so I have a problem where I need to get what 25/3 is...when I put this into my ti-89 titanium from the home screen the only answer it gives me is 25/3, what is up with that? It won't do simple...

    If you leaf through the manual with its 500 some pages you will diuscover that your last statement is not quite right.
    The "problem" is that the calculator is configured to perform EXACT calculation where fractions are kept as fractions and radicals as radicals.

    To have your fractions displayed as decimal numbers ALL THE TIME
    Press [MODE][F2]
    Use Arrow down to highlight [Exact/Approx
    Use right arrow to unfold the menu list and select [3:Approximate]
    f8d8665.jpg
    Press [ENTER] to save configuration

    There are two other ways to convert an exact result into an approximate one
    1. If you enter 25./3 or 25/3. or 25/3. and press [ENTER] the fraction will be displayed as a decimal number (The dot is a decimal mark, and it instructs calculator to perform approximate calculations)
    2. If enter 25/3 without the decimal marks and press [Diamond][ENTER] the result will be decimal.

    I have to learn how to operate a texas instrument TI-83 to do math (fraction)

    This calculator, although very sophisticated, is rather unfit for heavy fraction calculations. There is no dedicated fraction key, but you can use the [MATH] menu to access a ToFraction command: symbolized by a fat arrow and Frac.
    I am enclosing a few screen captures to help you figure out how to use your calculator to manipulate fractions. To get the first screen you press the [MATH] key (below the [ALPHA] key. The ToFraction command is the first one in the list. The second item allows you to convert a fraction to a decimal number.
    2eace92.jpg

    In the following screen I show you how to enter a fraction (division key) and keep it in fraction form, albeit reduced. Fractions are reduced to their simplest terms
    1c6579c.jpg
    In the last screen, I show you how to convert a fraction to a decimal number by making use of the ToDecimal command (last command line on the left, result is one line down and to the right.)
