To find an equivalent fraction, we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by the same value. In this case, the value is 0.01, which is the same as dividing by 0.01.
0.76 miles / 0.01 = 76 miles / 1

C The change in the number of books at the library over the course of the week was

The correct answer is C.
In the equation, (-3) * 7 = -21, the -21 represents the change in the number of books at the library over the course of the week. Since 3 books are loaned out every day for a week, the total change in the number of books is -21. The negative sign represents a decrease in the number of books.
