As the question was asked by someone in the UK:
To convert a fraction to a decimal divide the numerator by the denominator:
7 quarters = 7 × 1/4 = 7/4 = 7 ÷ 4 = 1.75
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Americans who call the fraction a quarter "one fourth" and a quarter to them is 25 cents:
7 / 4 is expressed as:
(4 + 3) / 4
= 4 / 4 + 3 / 4 [Rewrite the expression with two fractions]
= 1 + 3/4 [Make note that 4 divides 4 yields 1.]
The way to simplify that term with quarters in decimal form is to think of the quarter example:
A quarter is $0.25 or 25 cents. If we have 2 quarters, then we have $0.50 or 50 cents. If we have 3 quarters, then we have $0.75 or 75 cents. If we have 4 quarters, then we have a dollar.
The pattern here is that 25% of a dollar makes a quarter. If we have 3 quarters, then this makes up 75% of a dollar.
Relating that example to this problem, we have:
1 + 75%
= 1 + 0.75
= 1.75
So 1.75 or 7 / 4 is in decimal form.
