To convert a decimal to a fraction, note that the decimal can be written as a fraction where the numerator is the decimal number and the denominator is 1.

In this case, 4.65 can be written as the fraction 4.65/1.

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5 in this case.

So, 4.65/1 simplifies to (4.65/5)/(1/5) which is equal to 0.93/0.2. Now we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal points.

0.93/0.2 becomes 9.3/2.

Therefore, 4.65 as a fraction in simplest form is 9.3/2.
