.75 = 3/4
3.75 = 3 + 3/4

Therefore, the answer is C.

Answer:

C) \(3\frac{3}{4}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volunteers collected and recycled 3.75 tons of trash.

We need to convert 3.75 as a mixed number.

The mixed number consists of a whole number and an proper fraction.

In the given number 3.75, 3 as whole number and convert 0.75 to a fraction.

3.75 = 3 + 0.75

= 3 + \(\frac{75}{100}\)

We can reduce the fraction \(\frac{75}{100}\)

= 3 + \(\frac{3}{4}\)

= \(3\frac{3}{4}\)

So, the answer is C) \(3\frac{3}{4}\)
