√(6/11)

Goodmorning Reiny why can't I put the square root sign like you have it and I have a Dell computer. T
Answered by Reiny
I have both a Mac and a PC , here is what I had posted a while back....

"If you are on a Mac...
hold down the "Option" key and press V, then release to get the √
There are a whole bunch of those shortcuts, like hold down the "Option" key, and press p to get π

on a PC , I hold down the Alt key, and while holding it down, pres 251 on the number pad, then release. You should get a √ sign
Again just like on a Mac, you can experiment with these on a PC to get different symbols
e.g. try "Alt" 241 to get ± "

If I recall, somebody responded that it did not work on a Dell.
Important point, use the number pad to type your numbers, not the numbers in the top row of the keyboard,
Try it

Answered by Reiny
As I said, somebody else with a Dell had the same problem, so just use
Sqrt(3) or something obvious like that.
