Answer:
0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
You can think of fractions as smaller increments of money.
2/4=0.5
3/4=0.75
Bob has a dollar bill. He uses 1/4 of it to buy a coupon.
Imagine this happening:
1$
Uses 1/4
So... Let's look at what I've given you.
2/4=0.5
3/4=0.75
Well, let's stretch some things a liiiiitle bit.
Bob has a dollar bill blah blah...
We get to 1/4.
Le's make that 2/4.
2/4 is 0.5
So... By stretching the truth
We can infer that
If we put 1/4 back
(Oh no now the word problem creators are mad at me ;) lol)
Anyways, we can infer that by putting 1/4 back
That since 3/4 is 0.75
Then what's connected to 0.5 and 0.75?
The answer, my friend,
Is 0.25
