Question

What is `1/4` as a percentage?

Answer 1

`1/4=25%`

Explanation:

To express a fraction as percentage, what is needed is to modify the fraction so that the denominator is `100` and then numerator indicates the fraction as percentage.

For example, if `a/b=x/100`, it can be written as `x%`.

As `1/4=(1xx25)/(4xx25)=25/100`,

we have `1/4=25%`

Note: in case denominator does not have `100` as its multiple, we may have percentage mentioned in decimal term.

For example: `1/8=100/800=(100/8)/100=12.5/100=12.5%` and

`5/6=500/600=(500/6)/100=83.33/100=83.33%`
