Question

Write each amount as a fraction of a dollar. 3 quarters

Answer 1

One quarter is equal to 25 cents, To express it as a fraction of a dollar you have to divide the cents by 100, since 1 dollar = 100cents:

`(25)/(100)=0.25`

So, expressed as a fraction of a dollar you can say that one quarter is equal to $0.25 or 25/100

To determine how much do 3 quarters represent as a fraction of a dollar you have to multiply 0.25 by 3

`0.25\cdot3=0.75`

So, 3 quarters expressed as a fraction of a dollar is $0.75 or 75/100.
