To convert the mixed number 7 4 into a decimal, we first need to clarify the components. A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction. In this case, we appear to have ‘7’ as the whole number and ‘4’ as the fraction, represented as 4/7.
Now, to convert 4/7 into a decimal, you divide 4 by 7. Performing this division gives us:
4 ÷ 7 = 0.57142857 (approximately)
Now, if we then add the whole number ‘7’ to our decimal result:
7 + 0.57142857 = 7.57142857
This can be simplified to approximately 7.57 when rounded to two decimal places. So, in conclusion, ‘7 4’ as a decimal is approximately ‘7.57’, not ‘1.75’ as initially stated.
