To find the fraction that is equal to 0.75, we need to convert 0.75 into a fraction. We can do this by writing it as a quotient of two numbers.
To convert a decimal into a fraction, we write the decimal as a fraction over 1 with a denominator of 10 raised to the power equal to the number of decimal places.
In this case, the decimal is 0.75, which has two decimal places. Thus, we write it as 0.75/1 and multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal places.
0.75/1 = 75/100
Now, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 25.
75/100 ÷ 25/25 = 3/4
Therefore, the fraction equivalent to 0.75 is 3/4.
