Question

Write 4.625 as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

First, change the decimal to a fraction by putting it over 1000:
$4 \frac{625}{1000}$

Now find a common denominator of 625 and 1000. The simplest to find and divide by is 5. So begin by dividing them each by five until you have a completely simplified fraction:
$4 \frac{625}{1000} \\ \\ 4 \frac{125}{200} \\ \\ 4 \frac{25}{40} \\ \\ 4 \frac{5}{8}$

The answer is $4 \frac{5}{8}$
