Answer:

2 2333/5000

Explanation:

To convert 2.4666 to fraction, follow these steps:

First write down the decimal number divided by 1 like this:

2.4666/1

As we have 4 digits after the decimal point in the numerator, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 104 = 10000, so that there is no decimal point in the numerator

2.4666 × 10000

1 × 10000

=

24666/10000

Since the greatest common factor of 24666 and 10000 is 2, we can simplify the fraction and show the same amount

24666 ÷ 2

10000 ÷ 2

=

12333/5000

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an improper fraction, so we can also express 2.4666 as a mixed number, thus 12333/5000 is equal:

2 2333/5000
