How can you turn 0.75 into a fraction?

Answer 1

To make a fraction you need to understand fractions. There are two parts of a fraction, the numerator and the denominator. When you do the division a fraction turns into a decimal. To make it back into a fraction you either have to memorize the common ones or a simple way for me is to multiply it by 100. And then simplify. Let me show that in action as it may be confusing!

Step 1: Copy the problem

.75

Step 2: Times the problem by one hundred.

.75 x 100

1 x 100

Note: There is always a denominator of one on a decimal.

.75 x 100 = 75

1 x 100 = 100

Step 3: You don't always have to do this, but most teachers like you to. We want to find common factors of 75 and 100. A good one to choose for this is 25. So divide the numerator and the denominator by 25.

75 / 25 = 3

100 / 25 = 4
