Solution

To solve the given expression:

0.2456+4790.24 \cdot \frac{5}{6} + 4 \frac{7}{9}

we'll break it into two parts: the multiplication and the addition.

Step 1: Calculate 0.24560.24 \cdot \frac{5}{6}

Convert 0.240.24 to a fraction:

0.24=24100=6250.24 = \frac{24}{100} = \frac{6}{25}

Now, multiply this fraction by 56\frac{5}{6}:

62556=65256=30150=15=0.2\frac{6}{25} \cdot \frac{5}{6} = \frac{6 \cdot 5}{25 \cdot 6} = \frac{30}{150} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

Step 2: Convert 4794 \frac{7}{9} to an improper fraction

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

479=49+79=36+79=4394 \frac{7}{9} = \frac{4 \cdot 9 + 7}{9} = \frac{36 + 7}{9} = \frac{43}{9}

Step 3: Add the results

Now we add 0.20.2 and 439\frac{43}{9}:

Convert 0.20.2 to a fraction with a common denominator of 9:

0.2=15=945=2100.2 = \frac{1}{5} = \frac{9}{45} = \frac{2}{10}

So the expression becomes:

210+439\frac{2}{10} + \frac{43}{9}

To add these fractions, find a common denominator (which is 90 in this case):

210=1890\frac{2}{10} = \frac{18}{90}

Now, add:

1890+4310910=1890+43090=44890\frac{18}{90} + \frac{43 \cdot 10}{9 \cdot 10} = \frac{18}{90} + \frac{430}{90} = \frac{448}{90}

Simplify the fraction:

44890=224454.98\frac{448}{90} = \frac{224}{45} \approx 4.98

So, the final answer is approximately 4.984.98.
