What is 4 and 11 25ths as a decimal?

Answer 1

We have a mixed number with 4 11/25, and we know that 4 as a decimal is 4.0, which means that all we have to do is figure out what 11/25 is as a decimal. We could divide 25 into 11, but we can see by inspection that we can "expand" the fraction by making it into 100ths by multiplying top and bottom (numerator and denominator) by 4. Our 11/25 expanded is 4 x 11 / 4 x 25, which is 44/100 for an equivalent. We can quickly see that 44/100 is 0.44, so all we have to do is add the 0.44 to the 4.0 we already have, and we get 4.44 for our answer.
