What is 4 24/3 as a decimal?

Converting the fraction to an improper fraction

To convert $\normalsize{4}\frac{\normalsize{24}}{\normalsize{3}}$ into a decimal, we start by converting it to an improper fraction. First, multiply 4 by 3 then add the result to 24 in the numerator,

= $\frac{\left(\normalsize{4}\;\times\;\normalsize{3}\right) \;+\; \normalsize{24}}{\normalsize{3}}$

= $\frac{\normalsize{36}}{\normalsize{3}}$

Next, we will convert $\frac{\normalsize{36}}{\normalsize{3}}$ ​ to a decimal using the following method.

Solve using the Division Method

A fraction is made up of two parts: the numerator, which is the number on top, and the denominator, which is the number on the bottom. We can find the decimal equivalent by dividing the numerator 36 by the denominator 3.

36 (numerator) ÷ 3 (denominator) = 12

This division gives us the decimal equivalent of the fraction.
