Convert Mixed Number: Expressing 4⁴/₅ as a Decimal

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Convert $\frac{4}{5}$ into a decimal.
• Step 2: Add this decimal to the whole number part.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: We start with the fractional part $\frac{4}{5}$. To convert this into a decimal, we need a denominator of 10.

To get a denominator of 10, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2:

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{8}{10}$

This is equivalent to the decimal $0.8$.

Step 2: Add this decimal to the whole number part 4:

$4 + 0.8 = 4.8$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $4.8$.
