Answer:

Answer: 7 17/50

Explanation:

Write down the number as a fraction of one

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 2 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 100.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(734,100) = 2. when reduced to the simplest form.
