Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert a decimal to a fraction, we need to write the decimal as the numerator over 1, and then simplify the fraction. Since 0.74 is already out of 1, we can write it as $\frac { 74 } { 100 }$. To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2. This gives us the simplified fraction of $\frac { 37 } { 50 }$. Therefore, the answer is choice C.
