What is the mixed fraction and the improper fraction?

The time is written as a decimal. A decimal is a number that is made up of integers and non-integers. The integers are separated from the non-integers by a decimal point.

A mixed number is a fraction that is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator. An improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than the denominator.

In order to convert 4.6 hours to a mixed fraction, the proper fraction has to be determined. To determine this value, multiply 0.6 by the minutes in an hour

0.6 x 60 minutes = 10 minutes

The decimal becomes : [tex]4\frac{10}{60}[/tex] hours
