Question

write \\(\frac{175}{100}\\) as a decimal \\(\frac{7}{4} \times 1 = \frac{7}{4} \times \frac{25}{25} = \frac{175}{100} = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall decimal conversion for fraction over 100

A fraction with denominator 100 can be written as a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left in the numerator. For $\frac{175}{100}$, we take the numerator 175 and move the decimal (which is after 5, i.e., 175.0) two places left.

Step2: Perform the conversion

Moving the decimal two places left in 175.0 gives 1.75. Alternatively, we can divide 175 by 100: $175\div100 = 1.75$.

Answer:

1.75
