Without knowing the actual fraction, it is impossible to determine the exact decimal. However, rounding to the nearest thousandth narrows the options down to A or D. Since the numerator is larger than the denominator, it is reasonable to assume that the decimal will be greater than 0.5, making A the best choice. There are different methods to convert a fraction to a decimal, but one common way is to divide the numerator by the denominator using long division or a calculator. In this case, 11 ÷ 15 = 0.733333... Since the question asks us to round to the nearest thousandth, we look at the next digit after the third decimal place. It is 3, which is less than 5, so we round down the third decimal place to get 0.733. However, none of the answer choices matches this result exactly, so we need to check which one is closest. 0.757 is too high, 1.321 is way too high, and 0.076 is too low. Therefore, the only reasonable option is A) 0.757, which is only 0.024 away from the actual answer.
