To convert 3 and 4/5 to a decimal, we first need to rewrite the mixed number as an improper fraction.

To do this, we multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator of the fraction (5), and then add the numerator (4):

3 * 5 + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19

The improper fraction is 19/5.

Now, we can use long division to divide 19 by 5:

Therefore, 3 and 4/5 as a decimal is 3.8.
