Is there a way to do feet and inches addition on TI-85? I hate adding all of the inches first, divide it by 12, then add all of the feet to get the sum in feet decimal. There is got to be a way to do it easier on the calculator and get the result in feet and inches. Anyone?

The new 50g is quite a capable machine and does accomodate the lower life forms that use algebraic notation... ;>)

If you hit the "." twice, it will change the number to a fraction.
I switched to RPN about 10 months ago in order to get used to it for the PE exam in April. I will never go back.

tngolfer - RPN is the way to go. Congratulations on the switch. I managed to get one of our interns to switch and he's happy he did. He uses a 50g for school, but he says he's getting a 33 for the FE.
