Answer: 4.1

Explanation:

When we are using mixed fractions, we have a whole number (in this case 4) and a fractional part (1/10). So what we can do here to convert the mixed fraction to a decimal, is first convert it to an improper fraction (where the numerator is greater than the denominator) and then from there convert the improper fraction into a decimal/

Step 1: Multiply the whole number by the denominator

4 x 10 = 40

Step 2: Add the result of step 1 to the numerator

40 + 1 = 41

Step 3: Divide the result of step 2 by the denominator

41 ÷ 10 = 4.1

So the answer is that 4 1/10 as a decimal is 4.1.

And that is all there is to converting 4 1/10 to a decimal. We convert it to an improper fraction which, in this case, is 41/10, and then we divide the new numerator (41) by the denominator to get our answer.
