Answer:
If the answer asks for improper fraction it is [tex]\frac{15}{8}[/tex]
If it asks for simplest form it is [tex]1\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator
[tex]1.875=\frac{1.875}{1}[/tex]
Multiply to remove 3 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by [tex]10^3=1000[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.875}{1} *\frac{1000}{1000} =\frac{1875}{1000}[/tex]
Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 1875 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 125
[tex]\frac{1875/125}{1000/125} =\frac{15}{8}[/tex]
Simplify the improper fraction
[tex]=1\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
