• A. $2\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $2\frac{1}{5}$
• C. $2\frac{1}{6}$
• D. $2\frac{1}{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2\frac{1}{4}$

We know,
$2.25=2+0.25$
On shifting the decimal to the right, fractional form of 0.25 is $\frac{25}{100}$.
Simplifying, $\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}$
Hence,
$2.25=2+0.25=2+\frac{1}{4}=2\frac{1}{4}$
