Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

The values of ABC that make 2×ABC = 750 are ABC=375.

The fraction 0.375 is the decimal equivalent of 3/8.

_____

This decimal equivalent is something you memorized in 4th grade. If not, you can always reduce the fraction 375/1000 by removing 3 factors of 5:

... 375/1000 = 75/200 = 15/40 = 3/8
