jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

turn 0.75 into a fraction and fully reduce it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

0.75 means "75 hundredths" so 0.75 = 75/100 = ???

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

3/4

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

okay so the answer is 3 right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

geerky42 (geerky42):

x and y both have to be positive integers, so yes 3 is the answer

thanks @geerky42 and @jim_thompson5910
