Can't enter blood pressure in Numbers

Using my iMac and a Numbers spreadsheet I can't enter a number like 100/10 without Numbers trying to do some sort of conversion. I select fraction for the cell but when I enter the blood pressure reading it want to convert it and I don't want that. Anyone know how I can do this?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), 2.5 GHz, 4MB Ram
