Answer 2

Hi!

There are two ways to do this. 

1. Start with the first part of the decimal, (4.) then divide 3/7 to get the second part. 

3/7 = 0.43

4.43

2. Convert the mixed number 4 3/7 to a fraction. 

4 x 7 = 28
28 + 3 = 31

31/7

Now convert that into a decimal.

31/7 = 4.43

The answer is 4.43

Hope this helps! :)
