There have been several methods posted regarding this problem, but there
is another point to consider.

If you press MODE and scroll down to Exact/Approximate, you can set the
TI-89 to choose #3, APPROXIMATE, your calculator will display all results
as decimals.  If you are working on a problem where decimal equivalents
are preferred, or if you always prefer decimal equivalents, its easier to
just select accordingly.
