Answer:

4.21, 4.22, 4.23, 4.24

Explanation:

We're given:

  • The number is bigger than
    4(1)/(5)
  • The number is smaller than 4.25


(1)/(5) is 0.2.

How do we know this? Think about 100%. When we divide 100% by 5, we get 20%. 20% in decimal form is 0.2.

This means that
4(1)/(5) is the same as 4.20.

What's a number with two decimal places that's greater than 4.20, but less than 4.25?

  • 4.21, 4.22, 4.23, 4.24
