To express one whole and three-fourths as a fraction, we need to convert the whole number and the fractional part into a single fraction.
1 whole can be represented as the fraction 1/1 or simply 1. The fraction 3/4 represents three-fourths. To combine these two, we can follow these steps:
- Convert the whole number into a fraction with a denominator of 4, since our fractional part is in fourths. So, 1 whole (1) can be expressed as 4/4.
- Now that we have both parts in fractions, we can add them together: 4/4 (whole) + 3/4 (fractional part) = 7/4.
Therefore, the value of one whole and three-fourths as a fraction is 7/4.
