The expression 4 10/5 is the same as 4 + 10/5. It has a whole part (4) and a fraction part (10/5).

To find out if this expression is equivalent to 6, we need to simplify the fraction part:


(10)/(5)=10/5=2

We can simplify the fraction part in a whole number (2), so we have that:


4(10)/(5)=4+(10)/(5)=4+2=6

So the answer is Yes, 4 10/5 is equivalent to 6.
