To convert 0.46 into a fraction:

Step 1: Write the decimal as a fraction.

Since 0.46 has two decimal places, it can be written as:

$0.46 = \frac{46}{100}$

Step 2: Simplify the fraction.

Now, simplify $\frac{46}{100}$ by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 46 and 100, which is 2.

$\frac{46}{100} = \frac{46 \div 2}{100 \div 2} = \frac{23}{50}$

Thus, 0.46 as a fraction is:

$\frac{23}{50}$
