It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. The fraction has two parts: the numerator (the number on the top), here 3, which represents how many parts out of the whole, and the denominator (the number below), here 10, which shows how many parts make the whole. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
4 3/10 in decimals can be written as 4.3. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.
To convert 4 3/10 to a decimal, we first convert the fraction part to a decimal. The fraction 3/10 can be directly written as 0.3 since dividing 3 by 10 gives 0.3. Now, we combine this with the whole number 4.
So, 4 3/10 as a decimal is 4 + 0.3 = 4.3.
