Solution

Step 1: Convert the fractions to decimals

Convert $\frac{4}{10}$ and $\frac{6}{100}$ to decimals: \[ \frac{4}{10} = 0.4 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{6}{100} = 0.06 \]

Step 2: Add the decimal values

Add the two decimal values together: \[ 0.4 + 0.06 = 0.46 \]

Step 3: Compare the result with the given value

Compare the result $0.46$ with the given value $0.046$: \[ 0.46 \neq 0.046 \]

No, $ \frac{4}{10} + \frac{6}{100} $ is not equal to $ 0.046 $. The correct answer is $ \boxed{0.46} $.
