** The number in its decimal form is given by:**
75 12 ​ = 0.16 ; For this case we have the following fraction:
75 12 ​
Dividing the numerator and the denominator between 3 we have:
3 75 ​ 3 12 ​ ​
Then, multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 4 we have:
25 4 ​ = 25 4 ​ ∗ 4 4 ​
We observe that we have a number divided by 100. Therefore, we must move the comma two units to the left:
100 16 ​ = 0.16
