Question

What is 1.75 as a mixed number

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

1 3/4

Explanation:

We read 1.75 as "one and 75 one-hundredths." This tells us that it can be written as:

$1 \frac{75}{100}$

To simplify the fraction, we see that 25 goes into the numerator and denominator. We divide both by 25:

$1 \frac{75\div 25}{100\div 25} \\ \\1 \frac{3}{4}$

The simplified answer is 1 3/4.

Answer 2

$1.75=\frac{175}{100}= \frac{100}{100}+\frac{75}{100}\to\boxed{1+\frac{3}{4}}$
