What is 0.25 as a fraction?

whats 0.25 as a fraction

Answer 1

`1/4` , `25/100`

Explanation:

If you were to divide 1 over 4 or 25 over 100, you get 0.25.

Answer 2

1/4

Explanation:

The first step in turning decimals to fractions is to attempt to make them into base-10 fractions. I say attempt because it is impossible to represent a value with an infinite number of decimal places as a base-10 fraction:

`0.25 = 0.25/1=25/100`

Now that we have the decimal as a base-10 fraction, we can start to simplify. Because both the numerator and denominator have the same Highest Common Factor (25), we can divide both by that to begin reduction:

`25/100 xx (1/25)/(1/25)`

`=(25/25)/(100/25)`

`color(green)(=1/4)`
