Question

.25 decimal as a fraction reduce to the lowest terms

Answer 1

To mathematically convert decimals into fractions, you would put the decimal into a fraction with 1 as the denominator. This is the same as the original decimal.

$\frac{0.25}{1}$

Then, you would multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100.

$\frac{0.25 * 100}{1 * 100} =\frac{25}{100}$

You would simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25. You do this because both numbers are divisible by 25, and it is the maximum number both can be divided by.

$\frac{25 / 25}{100 / 25}$

$25 / 25 = 1$

$100 / 25 = 4$

So, after you divide, your final answer will be:

$\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 2
