Question

which statement describes the decimal square for \\(\frac{3}{4}\\)?
multiple choice
\\(\bigcirc\\) since 75 of 100 is \\(\frac{3}{4}\\), shading \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) of one part of a 100ths square shows fraction \\(\frac{3}{4}\\).
\\(\bigcirc\\) since \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) of 100 is 12, shading 12 parts of a 100ths square shows the fraction \\(\frac{3}{4}\\).
\\(\bigcirc\\) since \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) of 100 is 75, shading 75 parts of a 100ths square shows the fraction \\(\frac{3}{4}\\).
\\(\bigcirc\\) since \\(\frac{1}{75}\\) of 100 is 4, shading 4 parts of a 100ths square shows the fraction \\(\frac{3}{4}\\).

Explanation:

Step1: Convert fraction to decimal

$\frac{3}{4} = 0.75$

Step2: Find 75% of 100 parts

$0.75 \times 100 = 75$

Step3: Match to correct statement

A 100ths square has 100 equal parts, so shading 75 parts represents $\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

C. Since $\frac{3}{4}$ of 100 is 75, shading 75 parts of a 100ths square shows the fraction $\frac{3}{4}$.
