Question

Which number gives the exact value of four and five sixths?

four and eighty three hundredths with the three repeating
six twenty nineths
4.8
484%

Answer 1

Answer:

  (a)  four and eighty three hundredths with the three repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

The mixed number 4 5/6 will have a repeating decimal fraction, so finite-length decimals will not express it exactly.

Exact value

  4 5/6 = 4 +5/6 = (4×6)/6 +5/6 = (24+5)/6 = 29/6 . . . . . not 6/29

As you can see from the long division (attached), the decimal fraction will have repeating 3s.

  $4\dfrac{5}{6}=4.833... =\boxed{4\dfrac{83.\overline{3}}{100}}$
