Convert 3/4 cup to a decimal.

Convert 3/4 cup to a decimal.

• A. 0.5
• B. 0.75
• C. 0.25
• D. 1.0

Answer: (B)

Converting a fraction to a decimal means dividing the top number by the bottom number. For three over four, divide 3 by 4 to get 0.75. That means three quarters equal seventy-five hundredths of a cup, so 0.75 cups. You can think of one quarter as 0.25, so three quarters is 3 × 0.25 = 0.75. For context, 0.50 would be half a cup, 0.25 is a quarter cup, and 1.00 is a full cup.
