1. The problem asks to express "three-quarter of a million" as a number. 2. "A million" means 1,000,000. 3. "Three-quarter" means $\frac{3}{4}$. 4. To find three-quarter of a million, multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ by 1,000,000: $$\frac{3}{4} \times 1,000,000$$ 5. Multiply numerator and denominator: $$\frac{3 \times 1,000,000}{4} = \frac{3,000,000}{4}$$ 6. Simplify the fraction by dividing 3,000,000 by 4: $$3,000,000 \div 4 = 750,000$$ 7. Therefore, three-quarter of a million is 750,000.
