Question

Convert the decimal to fraction $1.75$

Answer 1

To convert decimal to fraction, take the given decimal without the decimal point as the numerator. For the denominator, form a number by annexing as many zeros to the right of $1$ as is the number of decimal places in the given decimal. Take this number as the denominator.

So

$$\begin{gathered} 1.75=\frac{175}{100} \\ =\frac{175÷25}{100÷25} \\ =\frac{7}{4} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, $1.75$ in fraction is $\frac{7}{4}$
