To convert 4.65 to a fraction, we can break it down as follows:

  1. Take the whole number part: 4
  2. Take the decimal part: 0.65

Next, convert 0.65 to a fraction:

  • 0.65 can be expressed as 65/100 (since there are two decimal places).
  • Now simplify 65/100 by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 65 and 100, which is 5.

So, we simplify: \[ \frac{65 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{13}{20} \]

Now, combine the whole number and the simplified fraction: \[ 4.65 = 4 + 0.65 = 4 + \frac{13}{20} = \frac{80}{20} + \frac{13}{20} = \frac{93}{20} \]

Thus, the simplest form of 4.65 as a fraction is: \[ \frac{93}{20} \]

However, looking at your response options, it seems they include only the fraction for 4.65 without the whole number. Therefore, since the closest answer is: 4 Start Fraction 13 over 20 End Fraction, this indicates that it is recognizing the fractional part.

So the final answer, expressed correctly in options, would be: 4 Start Fraction 13 over 20 End Fraction (which represents the whole number and fractional part combined).
