How do I write a fraction for 4.8

1 answer:

3 0

If you read 4.8 out loud it should be "four and eight tenths." This is always a good start when changing a decimal into a fraction. 4 8/10 is a mixed number, so to further simplify it as a mixed number we leave the 4 alone and reduce the fraction 8/10. So we can reduce 8/10 to 4/5. Then you bring the 4 back and put 4/5 with it. So 4.8 as a fraction is 4 4/5.

I hope that helped!

Laura walks 1/2 mile every 10 minutes. At this rate how far will she walk in an hour?

gulaghasi [49]

well, an hour has 60 minutes, that means 10+10+10+10+10+10 minutes.

we know she can do ½ mile in 10 minutes, so in an hour, she'll be doing

½+½+½+½+½+½ miles, and you know how much that is.
