I could be wrong but is it $1.20?
17 would be the answer, you divide 30 by 1.75 and you get 17.14 but you can’t buy .14th of a book so you’re left with 17
2.46875 in a fraction form would look like this:
2.46875 =
= 2 46875/100000 =
= 2 9375/20000 =
= 2 1875/4000 =
= 2 375/800 =
= 2 75/160 =
= 2 15/32
I just kept simplifying it by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 until I got its simplest form.
