Question

when the value below is written as an improper fraction, what is the numerator? 4.2 A.38B.41C.44D.46

Answer 1

The improper fraction is a fraction when the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator

Given the number 4.2

It can be written as a mixed fraction as:

$4.2=4+0.2=4+\frac{2}{10}=4\frac{2}{10}$

And when converted to an improper fraction will become:

$4\frac{2}{10}=\frac{10\times4+2}{10}=\frac{42}{10}$

So, the numerator will be equal to 42
