Write 4 3/7 as a decimal.
enter your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, like this: 4.25

Hi!

There are two ways to do this. 

1. Start with the first part of the decimal, (4.) then divide 3/7 to get the second part. 

3/7 = 0.43

4.43

2. Convert the mixed number 4 3/7 to a fraction. 

4 x 7 = 28
28 + 3 = 31

31/7

Now convert that into a decimal.

31/7 = 4.43

The answer is 4.43

Hope this helps! :)

The answer is 4.43 because you have to first convert it to an improper fraction then divide the following. To turn it into and improper fraction you multiply the denominator by the leading coefficient and add that to the numerator to get 31/7. After that you just divide the two numbers to get the answer.

Add the cents that add the left overs to get the first number
