If you read 4.8 out loud it should be "four and eight tenths." This is always a good start when changing a decimal into a fraction. 4 8/10 is a mixed number, so to further simplify it as a mixed number we leave the 4 alone and reduce the fraction 8/10. So we can reduce 8/10 to 4/5. Then you bring the 4 back and put 4/5 with it. So 4.8 as a fraction is 4 4/5.
I hope that helped!
