Convert 3/4 to a decimal.

Convert 3/4 to a decimal.

• A. 0.65
• B. 0.75
• C. 0.45
• D. 1.25

Answer: (B)

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. For 3/4, 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75: 4 goes into 3 zero times with a remainder of 3, bring down a zero to make 30, 4 goes into 30 seven times (28), remainder 2; bring down another zero to make 20, 4 goes into 20 five times (20), remainder 0. So the decimal is 0.75. The other numbers represent different decimals: 0.65 is 65/100, 0.45 is 45/100, and 1.25 is 5/4, which is greater than 1. Therefore, 0.75 is the correct decimal for 3/4.
