If you drove 0.75 miles, what is that distance as a simplified fraction?

1/2 miles
2/3 miles
3/4 miles
4/5 miles

The correct answer is: 3/4 miles

To express the distance of 0.75 miles as a simplified fraction, first, it's useful to understand that 0.75 represents three-quarters of a whole. This decimal can be converted to a fraction by recognizing that 0.75 is equivalent to 75/100 since it represents 75 out of 100 parts. Next, to simplify the fraction 75/100, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of both the numerator and the denominator. In this case, the GCD of 75 and 100 is 25. When you divide both the numerator and the denominator by 25, you get: 75 ÷ 25 = 3 100 ÷ 25 = 4 Thus, the simplified fraction for 0.75 miles is 3/4 miles, which is the correct and simplest form to express this distance. This understanding reinforces that some distances represented in decimal form can effectively be translated back into fractions, making it clear why the answer is 3/4 miles.
