select one:
a. $\frac{7}{20}$
b. $\frac{99}{35}$

Explanation:

Step1: Convert decimal to fraction

0.35 can be written as $\frac{35}{100}$ because the decimal has two decimal places, so we put 35 over 100.

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 35 and 100. The GCD of 35 and 100 is 5. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5: $\frac{35\div5}{100\div5}=\frac{7}{20}$.

Step3: Match with options

Now we check the options. Option a is $\frac{7}{20}$, which matches our result.

Answer:

a. $\frac{7}{20}$
