`11/4` is your answer.

Answer 2

`a=a/1`
Here, it is
`2.75/1`
You should know, that no matter by which number we divide or multiply a number when they are numerator and denominator, the product will be same,
`a/b=(axx3423)/(bxx3423)`
So, multiply both numerator and denominator by 100
`(2.75xx100)/(1xx100)`
You get
`275/100`
Remove the common factor of 25
`(cancel275^11)/(cancel100^4)`
There's your answer
`11/4`
