How do you force answers to be displayed in decimal format instead of as a fraction?  Here is an example
syms CD
>> cross(ac,CD*Ucd)
ans =
[ (23089284507395629*CD)/144115188075855872, (43129010120971187*CD)/450359962737049600, (14811997678849777*CD)/56294995342131200]

Eval often works but not always, 

eval(ans)
ans =
[ (5772321126848907*CD)/36028797018963968, (2695563132560699*CD)/28147497671065600, (925749854928111*CD)/3518437208883200]

It is a different fraction, but still a fraction.

Thanks.

vpa() for specific decimal precision, or double() for binary floating point
