Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

You can think of fractions as smaller increments of money.

2/4=0.5

3/4=0.75

Bob has a dollar bill. He uses 1/4 of it to buy a coupon.

Imagine this happening:

1$

Uses 1/4

So... Let's look at what I've given you.

2/4=0.5

3/4=0.75

Well, let's stretch some things a liiiiitle bit.

Bob has a dollar bill blah blah...

We get to 1/4.

Le's make that 2/4.

2/4 is 0.5

So... By stretching the truth

We can infer that

If we put 1/4 back

(Oh no now the word problem creators are mad at me ;) lol)

Anyways, we can infer that by putting 1/4 back

That since 3/4 is 0.75

Then what's connected to 0.5 and 0.75?

The answer, my friend,

Is 0.25
