If the calculator has special keys for calculations with fractions, entering a fraction and pressing the fraction key again normally works - but in any case, you can check the manual for your specific calculator.
Something that should work in any calculator is to simply divide the numerator by the denominator. Example: What is the decimal equivalent of 2/3? Just divide 2 by 3, and you should get an answer similar to 0.6666666667.
