What is 78/100 simplified to its smallest form

The correct answer is A. This is because the numbers are not below 0, they are only positive numbers. Had one number been negative, answer choice B would have been correct because you would need to account for the distance below 0. But, the correct answer is A because you could also use the expression 2 - 3/4, and simply switching 2 and 3/4 around will also get you the same distance.

Hope this helps! :)
