Question

Write 4.625 as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

First, change the decimal to a fraction by putting it over 1000:

`4 (625)/(1000)`

Now find a common denominator of 625 and 1000. The simplest to find and divide by is 5. So begin by dividing them each by five until you have a completely simplified fraction:

`4 (625)/(1000) \\ \\ 4 (125)/(200) \\ \\ 4 (25)/(40) \\ \\ 4 (5)/(8)`

The answer is
`4 (5)/(8)`
