convert the following decimals to fractions in their simpliest form:a)0.25 b)0.5 c)0.75

Let's convert each decimal to a fraction in its simplest form:

a) **0.25**  
To convert 0.25 to a fraction:
- Write 0.25 as \( \frac{25}{100} \).
- Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 25:

\[
\frac{25 \div 25}{100 \div 25} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

So, \( 0.25 = \frac{1}{4} \).

b) **0.5**  
To convert 0.5 to a fraction:
- Write 0.5 as \( \frac{5}{10} \).
- Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 5:

\[
\frac{5 \div 5}{10 \div 5} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

So, \( 0.5 = \frac{1}{2} \).

c) **0.75**  
To convert 0.75 to a fraction:
- Write 0.75 as \( \frac{75}{100} \).
- Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 25:

\[
\frac{75 \div 25}{100 \div 25} = \frac{3}{4}
\]

So, \( 0.75 = \frac{3}{4} \).

### Summary:
- a) \( 0.25 = \frac{1}{4} \)
- b) \( 0.5 = \frac{1}{2} \)
- c) \( 0.75 = \frac{3}{4} \)
