We are given the following mixed fraction:


4(1)/(10)

This is a fraction of the form:


a(b)/(c)

Any mixed fraction can be rewritten using the following relationship:


a(b)/(c)=a+(b)/(c)

Applying the relationship we get:


4(1)/(10)=4+(1)/(10)

Now, we add the whole number and the fraction using the following relationship:


a+(b)/(c)=(ac+b)/(c)

Applying the relationship we get:


4+(1)/(10)=(40+1)/(10)=(41)/(10)=4.1

Therefore, the mixed fraction is equivalent to 4.1
