If you're in RPN mode, do this:

1. Type 20.5 (do NOT press Enter)
2. Press Shift then Units
3. Tap Units menu choice
4. Tap Length
5. Tap km (20.5_km will be displayed)
6. Press Enter
7. Put in 1_mi using same technique as steps 1 - 5.
8. Press Shift then Units
9. Tap Tools menu choice
10. Tap CONVERT menu choice
11. Display will read 12.7381094409_mile (depending on your decimal setting)

Hi,

At least one step less in RPN : Step 7 can be "7. Put in 1_mi using same technique as steps 2 - 5." If you choose the unit without giving a quantity first, 1 is assumed automatically by the calculator.

Cheers,

Miguel
