Question

Simplest fractional form of $1.75$ is $\frac{4}{5}$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

$1.75=\frac{1.75}{1}$
= $\frac{175}{100}$ [Convert denominator into multiple of 10]
= $\frac{7\times 25}{4\times 25}$
= $\frac{7}{4}$ [Divide numberator and denominator by common factor, in our case 25]
$\because \frac{7}{4}\ne \frac{4}{7}$

Hence, the given statement is false.
