To determine which option shows a number in fraction form, let's analyze each option in the context of what we know about fractions.
A fraction is a mathematical expression representing the division of one whole number by another, usually written in the form [tex]\( \frac{a}{b} \)[/tex], where [tex]\( a \)[/tex] is the numerator and [tex]\( b \)[/tex] is the denominator.
Let's evaluate each option:
A. [tex]\( \frac{3}{7} \)[/tex]
- This is clearly in the form [tex]\( \frac{a}{b} \)[/tex], where 3 is the numerator and 7 is the denominator. This is a classic example of a fraction.
B. 3.7
- This number is a decimal, not a fraction. Even though it could be converted to a fraction (37/10), in its given form it is not presented as one.
C. [tex]\( \sqrt{2} \)[/tex]
- This is a square root and represents an irrational number. It is not expressed in the form of a fraction.
D. 3
- This is a whole number, not a fraction. While 3 can be written as a fraction (3/1), it is not presented that way here.
Based on these evaluations, the option that shows a number in fraction form is:
A. [tex]\( \frac{3}{7} \)[/tex]
