I was doing problems such as 5pi/3 times pi and i was coming out with fractions (which is what i had wanted) then i had gone to do the problem pi/6 times pi. It had given me a decimal. I have no idea what i had done wrong and everytime i clicked the S<>D button it had still given me a decimal! i really need help and it would be greatly appreicated if i can get an answer ASAP. Thank you!
The display of radicals and Pi is limited. For example only square roots are displayed as roots, standing alone or in some complicated fractions. Pi is shown as Pi, but pi^2 is not. These are limitations you have to accept. So you did not do anything wrong.

there is a button SD close to AC button, standard - decimal try it .......or
shift+mode format math IO, change it to the other option
SOURCE: Any way to make decimal answers the default? (casio fx-83ES)
you want a line output
Shift > Mode > 2:LineIO or on the graphics one its sometimes 10:LineO etc.
look for something with line in it

Hello,
Since you bent on deactivating the very features that make your calculator so versatile and so powerful, here it is.
Press [SHIFT][MODE][2:LineIO] and you will see no more fractions, nor radicals etc. You asked for it.
Hope it helps.
Testimonial: "I bought the calculator because it was on sale and I like Casio calculators; not for its fractional abilities. I can easily switch it back now. Thanks"

If the result is already calculated and displayed, press the [S<=>D] key It will convert a fraction or radical to decimal. This is always possible. If the result is decimal it may be converted to a fraction or a radical (Not always possible).
If the expression to be evaluated is still in the command line and you have not pressed the [=] key, you can force the result to be displayed in decimal format by pressing [SHIFT][=] instead of just [=].
More permanently. If you do n o care for fractions and radicals, set the Input/Outpout mode to LineIO. To do do press [SHIFT][MODE] to access the (SETUP) screen and select [2:LineIO]
