Matlab live script wont simplify my final answer which includes pi

2 views (last 30 days)
I have a equation such as this:
mdot = 6.05E-4;
rho = 1.204;
Ac = 0.0050265;
V = mdot/(rho*Ac)
Then when my answer comes out for V, it equals this:
3098476543630901248pi/97341511467911328125
Which equals 0.1, which is the correct answer, but why cant it just show me that?
Thanks for the help!

What version of MATLAB are you using? Have you declared anything symbolically?
When I run your code here, it returns 0.1
mdot = 6.05E-4;
rho = 1.204;
Ac = 0.0050265;
V = mdot/(rho*Ac)
V = 0.1000
