Question

Write as a mixed number in lowest terms 7.25

Answer 1

7.25 is the same as $7 \frac{25}{100}$ written as a mixed number. However, .25 is $\frac{1}{4}$ of 100.

In this case, while rewriting your mixed number, 7.25 is the same as $7\frac{1}{4}$, so that would be your answer.

7.25 ⇒ 7 1/4
