MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS
Your calculator uses standard chaining logic
which simply means that you enter your first
value, then the operator (+, –, x, ÷), then the
second value and then finally, the Equals sign to
get your answer.
A. 3 [+] 2 [=] 5
B. 3 [–] 2 [=] 1
C. 3 [x] 2 [=] 6
D. 3 [÷] 2 [=] 1.5
This feature also makes the calculator so simple
to use for dimension applications. This is illus-
trated in the following examples:
Adding Dimensions
Add 7 feet 3-1/2 inches to 11 feet 4 inches:
7 [Feet] 3 [Inch] 1[/] 2
[+] 11 [Feet] 4 [Inch]
[=] 18 FT 7-1/2 IN
Add 11 inches to 2 feet 1 inches:
11 [Inch]
[+] 2 [Feet] 1 [Inch]
[=] 36 IN
Add 2 feet 1 inches to 11 inches:
2 [Feet] 1 [Inch]
[+] 11 [Inch]
[=] 3 FT 0 IN*
* The format of the first value you enter determines the for-
mat of the answer. However, with the [Conv] key you can
change to any format you desire, provided that you
maintain convention.
