Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To write any decimal as a fraction you divide by 1 and multiply by a number (ranging from 10, 100, 1000 etc.) that will make 0.46 a whole number, this will explain:
Let x = 
10x = 
100x =
this is our perfect fraction, now we simplify later
100x - 10x = 
90x =
this is to confirm both fractions are equal
x is the same as
as
as
but here x =
because a fraction has to have no decimals.
So 0.46 is equal any of these values, as a fraction, on the other hand, it's improperly equal to
here I divided by 2 to bring down the proper fraction. (fraction at its simplest form)
If you use a proportion, you'll get:

Then, you use cross products:

Then, you algebraically solve x:

The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
