This cribbed from the Calc manual:
The ‘c f’ (‘calc-float’) [‘pfloat’] command converts the number
on the top of the stack to floating-point form. For example,
‘23’ is converted to ‘23.0’, ‘3:2’ is converted to ‘1.5’, and
‘2.3’ is left the same.
...if you don't mind losing precision. If you do, then (1) was a trick
question ;-)
