Answer:

18/24.

Explanation:

If you didn't know, denominators can be divided by anything. Since your denominator is 24, that is divisible by both 6 and 4.

Since we are looking for a fraction (this fraction) equal to 0.75, we must simplify it.

6*4=24.
Every 1/4 of this fraction is like this:
6/24, 12/24, 18/24, 1, or 24/24.

Every 1/4 = 0.25 added.
Answer: 18/24.
