Answer: 4 28/100 or 4 7/25

Step-by-step explanation:She wrote 4 28/1000 instead of writing 4 28/100 she simplified wrong so divide by 4 equals 4 7/25

4.28 is a decimal and not a mixed number. To write it as a mixed number you keep the 4 and put 28 over 100 then simplify.

4.28= 4 28/100 (simplify)
4 28/100= 4 14/50= 4 7/25

4.28 as a mixed number would be 4 7/25
