Missing Word
Correct Answer
0.0375
Explanation
- Write \(3\frac34\) as 3.75
- \(3\frac34\)% = 3.75%
- Drop the % symbol and divide 3.75 by 100 by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left. This requires that a placeholder zero (shown in blue) be inserted in front of the 3.
- = .0375
- Write a zero to the left of the decimal point
- = 0.0375
- \(3\frac34\)%, written as a decimal, is 0.0375
