D. 0.14075

Answer

To solve the problem \( 140.75 \times 0.01 \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the multiplication of decimals
When multiplying a decimal by a whole number or another decimal, we need to consider the placement of the decimal point in the result.

### Step 2: Rewrite the multiplication
We can express \( 0.01 \) as a fraction:
\[ 0.01 = \frac{1}{100} \]
So, we can rewrite the multiplication as:
\[ 140.75 \times 0.01 = 140.75 \times \frac{1}{100} \]

### Step 3: Perform the multiplication
Now, we can multiply \( 140.75 \) by \( \frac{1}{100} \):
\[ 140.75 \times \frac{1}{100} = \frac{140.75}{100} \]

### Step 4: Move the decimal point
To divide \( 140.75 \) by \( 100 \), we move the decimal point two places to the left:
\[ 140.75 \div 100 = 1.4075 \]

### Step 5: Conclusion
Thus, the result of \( 140.75 \times 0.01 \) is:
\[ \boxed{1.4075} \]
