Answer 1

To convert the decimal 0.759 to a fraction, you can follow these steps:

1. Write the decimal as a fraction with 1 in the denominator: \[ 0.759 = \frac{0.759}{1} \]

2. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (since there are three digits after the decimal point) to eliminate the decimal: \[ \frac{0.759 \times 1000}{1 \times 1000} = \frac{759}{1000} \]

Therefore, the correct response is 759 over 1000.
