What is the result of multiplying 7,000 by 0.75?

  1. 4,240

  2. 5,250

  3. 5,750

  4. 6,000

The correct answer is: 5,250

To find the result of multiplying 7,000 by 0.75, you perform the multiplication as follows: 7,000 multiplied by 0.75 can be calculated by first considering 0.75 as a fraction, which is equivalent to \( \frac{75}{100} \) or \( \frac{3}{4} \). Therefore, multiplying 7,000 by 0.75 is the same as finding three-quarters of 7,000. To compute this, you can multiply: \[ 7,000 \times 0.75 = 7,000 \times \frac{3}{4} \] Dividing 7,000 by 4 gives: \[ 7,000 \div 4 = 1,750 \] Then, multiplying 1,750 by 3 results in: \[ 1,750 \times 3 = 5,250 \] Thus, the product of 7,000 and 0.75 is 5,250. This confirms that the answer is correct, as it accurately follows the steps of multiplication by fraction representation and provides the final result.
