The answer is 0.25 or 1/4. All you have to do is divide 1 3/4 by 7 and you will get 0.25. Then you have to turn it into a fraction. We write the given number as the numerator and place 1 in the denominator right below the decimal point followed by the number of zeros required accordingly. Then, this fraction can be simplified. In this case, 0.25 has two numbers after the decimal, so, we place 100 in the denominator and remove the decimal point.
⇒ 25/100
After reducing this fraction we get,
⇒ (25 ÷ 25) / (100 ÷ 25) = 1/4
