Question

Lincoln told his mother that 4 5/10

represents his height, in feet. Which decimal measurement represents Lincoln's height?

Answer 1

`4.5`

Explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question you will first need to convert Lincolns height into a improper fraction and then convert the improper fraction into a decimal number.

`L =4(5)/(10)`

Convert into improper fraction

`4(5)/(10) =10 *4=40+5=45=(45)/(10)`

Convert into decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator:

`45/10=4.5`

`L=4.5`

Hope this helps.
