Question

Which fraction is equivalent to 0.75?

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Put it into a fraction out of 1.

0.75 = .75/1

Multiply the top and bottom by 100 to make your decimal no longer a decimal (if this was 7.5, you would only multiply it by 10).

`(0.75 * 100)/(1*100) = (75)/(100)`

Now, simplify.

75 and 100 can both be divided by 5

75/5 = 15

100/5 = 20

15 and 20 can be divided by 5

15/5 = 3

20/5 = 4

This can be simplified no more.

So, our answer is:

`(3)/(4)`
