Answer: 4.9

Explanation:

You can use a calculator but I'll show you the step by step.

First,
4 (9)/(10) is a mixed number. To be able to divide it, convert it to an improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying the big number by the denominator and adding the numerator; all of this over the same denominator.


(4*10+9)/(10)=(40+9)/(10)=(49)/(10)

Now, divide:

49/10=4.9

40

---------

9'0

90
