Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

To check, let's convert 3/4 to a decimal.

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 25 because we are going to convert 4 to 100.

3•25 / 4•25 = 75 / 100

For 75/100, it can be expressed as 0.75.

Hence, 3/4 and 0.75 both are equivalent — 3/4 is just a simplified fraction from 75/100 which is 0.75
