Solution

Explanation:

The opposite of 4.6 is -4.6 because -4.6 is the same distance apart from 0 as 4.6.

The rational number of a decimal would be a fraction.

4.6 as a whole number would be 4, so there's only 0.6 left.

0.6 would be 6 out of 10 or 6/10

6/10 can be simplified into 3/5 by dividing both numbers by 2.

So, the opposite rational number of 4.6 is - 4 3/5.
