Express 0.75 as a fraction in simplest terms.

• A. 4/3
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 2/3

Answer: (B)

Converting a decimal to a fraction starts with place value. 0.75 is 75 hundredths, so it can be written as 75/100. Then simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25. That gives 3/4, and it’s in simplest terms because 3 and 4 share no common factors other than 1. The other options don’t equal 0.75: 4/3 is about 1.333, 1/2 is 0.5, and 2/3 is about 0.666..., so none match 0.75.
