Cathy bought a bag of candy that weighed 0.74 pounds. What is this decimal as a fraction, in lowest terms?

Answer 1

37/50, as previously said find place value of last digit (100th) and put it over (74/100) find a number both can be divided by (2) and divide to reduce

Answer 2

Explanation:

0.74.....so what place value is the last number in ? Because if u know that, this wont be hard to do. Its in the 100ths place....so put that number over 100 and reduce if possible.

74/100 reduces to 37/50.....and if u were to get a calculator and type in 37 divided by 50, ur gonna get 0.74.....and thats how to turn a fraction into a decimal (just in case u were interested)
