Saxon Math Course 3 Practice Test

Question: 1 / 400

Convert the fraction 3/4 into a decimal.

0.50

0.75

To convert the fraction 3/4 into a decimal, you divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4). When doing this calculation, 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75.

This process works because a fraction represents a division of two numbers. In this case, 3 represents the part, and 4 represents the whole. Therefore, when you find the decimal equivalent, you are determining how many times 4 fits into 3. Since 3 is less than 4, the result will be a decimal less than 1. The calculation can also be visualized by recognizing that 3 corresponds to three parts of a whole that has been divided into four equal sections (each section being 0.25), thus resulting in a total of 0.75.

Thus, the decimal equivalent of 3/4 is 0.75, confirming that the correct option is the value representing this conversion.
