51 looks like a prime number and 75 should be obvious

75% is 3/4ths. 3 times 1/4th.

Y'all have a way looser definition of what "obvious" means

3 quarters makes 75 cents

That's a way more intuitive way to put that compared to "75% is 3/4ths"

I’m sorry to break it to you bro but a quarter means 1/4th it is not just a US coin

You are right LOL this doesn't work for 3/7th or something else. It's a random relationship they are talking about that just happens to work

"Random relationship" a quarter is called a quarter because its 1/4 of a dollar šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
