Does anyone know why my calc is doing this in the last column instead of giving me actual values? :-\

These look like "exact"answers. What are your settings? You should be using "Decimal"

Its giving you exact values (Necessary for Methods, not Further).

2 things you can do:
* Hover over the cell and at the bottom in that grey shaded box, it will tell you the approximate value as a decimal.
* Change the Settings (Home Screen >> 5 >> 2 >> 1 >> Change Calculation Mode to "Approximate".

I'd recommend going with the 2nd option that I've mentioned because its permanent (Unless changed again) and Exact Values are not needed for Further. :)
