Convert 0.75 to a fraction.

Convert 0.75 to a fraction.

• A. 1/2
• B. 3/4
• C. 2/3
• D. 4/5

Answer: (B)

Decimals that end can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 100 when there are two decimal places, then simplified. For 0.75, write it as 75/100. Both numbers share a factor of 25, so divide top and bottom by 25 to get 3/4. Since 3/4 equals 0.75, this is the exact fraction form. The other quick checks show why they don’t fit: 1/2 is 0.5, 2/3 is about 0.666..., and 4/5 is 0.8, so they don’t match 0.75.
