Calculator Help +K

Alright, so I'm not sure if anyone can help with this, but help would be appreciated(+k to a final solution).

I have a Ti-NSpire CX(Really handy).

Alright, so I type in an evaluation: 1+1 = 2
Then, I tell it to divide by 3. ANS / 3 = 2/3
I press "ctrl">"enter" to evaluate it in decimal form. It re-calculates using the previous value, effectively doing 2/3/3, instead of 2/3, giving me an answer of .22... instead of .333...

Is there a faster way of doing this, or do I have to go to the menu and "Convert to Decimal" or delete the previous expression and go from there?

Example in nice format:
1+1 = 2
ANS / 3 = 2/3
ANS(using ctrl>enter) /3 = 2/3/3 :(
I want 0.333...

Cliffnotes:
How can I convert a previous answer that used the ANS function using the ctrl>enter button as a decimal without using the previous answer? Is this not possible?


Thank you. This will save me time.

Look it up for the ti-89.. They also do the weird division thing. It's probably something in settings you have to change. Can't exactly help you since I have an 84 but should get you started in your search.

you can do all sorts of calculations and shit on it. this little bastard can carry you through all of school. add ,multiply,exponents, trig. shit. this is all you need to do some really high end calculating of numbers. push the a b/c button and your decimal becomes a fraction. so fucking prime.
