Autosimp The calculator automatically simplifies

fractional results.

Mansimp The user simplifies fractions manually step-by-

step. $ next to the result signifies that it can be

simplified at least one more time.

Add 1/9 + 5/9.

1=9"\5=9

In this example, Display Format mode settings do not affect

the display of the result because the result is a simple fraction.

Add 1/4 + 1/4.

1. Select Autosimp mode, if

necessary, and return to the

Home screen.

.####b

-l

2. Add 1/4 + 1/4.

1=4"\1=4b

The total shaded area in the first
