Answer 1

To convert 4.65 to a fraction, we can break it down into its whole number and decimal parts:

1. The whole number part is 4.
2. The decimal part is 0.65.

Now we convert 0.65 to a fraction:

0.65 can be written as \( \frac{65}{100} \).

Next, we simplify \( \frac{65}{100} \):

Both 65 and 100 can be divided by 5:
\[
\frac{65 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{13}{20}
\]

So, we can represent 4.65 as a mixed number:
\[
4.65 = 4 + 0.65 = 4 + \frac{13}{20}
\]

In mixed number form, this is:
\[
4 \frac{13}{20}
\]

Therefore, the fraction for 4.65 in simplest form is:
**4 13/20** (4 Start Fraction 13 over 20 End Fraction).
