The given number is 4.125

Since there are 3 decimal places, then we can write the decimal part as a fraction with denominator 1000


4.125=4(125)/(1000)

Now, we can simplify the fraction by divide up and down by the same number


\begin{gathered} (125)/(1000)=((125)/(5))/((1000)/(5))=(25)/(200) \\ (25)/(200)=((25)/(5))/((200)/(5))=(5)/(40) \\ (5)/(40)=((5)/(5))/((40)/(5))=(1)/(8) \end{gathered}

Then the number is


4(1)/(8)

This is a mixed number in its simplest form

The answer is 4 1/8


4(1)/(8)
