Question

Lionel scored in 3 out of the last 4 games, which can be expressed using the fraction 34. How could this same ratio be expressed as a decimal?

Answer 1

To express the ratio 3/4 as a decimal, you can divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4):

3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

Therefore, the ratio 3/4 can be expressed as the decimal 0.75. This means that Lionel scored in 75% of the last 4 games. In decimal form, 0.75 represents 75 hundredths or three-quarters.
