Answer:
[tex]41\frac{247}{500}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
41.494
= [tex]41\frac{494}{1000}[/tex]
to simplify the fraction 494 /1000, we have to find and divide both numerator and denominator by the their highest common factor
494 = 2 x 13 x 19
1000 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5
comparing the two, we can see that that the only common factor that both numbers share is 2, hence we divide both numerator and denominator by 2
41 494/1000
= [tex]41\frac{494}{1000}[/tex]
= [tex]41\frac{494/2}{1000/2}[/tex]
= [tex]41\frac{247}{500}[/tex]
