a=a/1a=a1
Here, it is
2.75/12.751
You should know, that no matter by which number we divide or multiply a number when they are numerator and denominator, the product will be same,
a/b=(axx3423)/(bxx3423)ab=a×3423b×3423
So, multiply both numerator and denominator by 100
(2.75xx100)/(1xx100)2.75×1001×100
You get
275/100275100
Remove the common factor of 25
(cancel275^11)/(cancel100^4)
There's your answer
11/4
