There's three ways to do this:

1. Change the mode to approximate. You will always get a numeric answer.
2. If you are under "auto", you can put a decimal point after a number. ie if you type 6*(pi) you will get 6(pi), if you type 6.*(pi) you will get 19.84...
3. Under any mode setting, press [Diamond]+[Enter] will always return an approximate answer.

Like baseballdude_ said, I find it easiest to press the green diamond then hit enter.
