Answer:

D. 14 5/8

To get rid of the decimal point in the numerator, we count the numbers after the decimal in 14.625, and multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 if it is 1 number, 100 if it is 2 numbers, 1000 if it is 3 numbers, and so on.

Therefore, in this case we multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to get the following fraction:

14625 / 1000

Simplify to get 14 5/8

Hope it helps! =D
