Question

Convert 1/4 as a decimal

Answer 1

Using a proportion, you want to make the bottom equal to 100. So multiply the top and bottom by 25. 1/4 * 25/25 = 25/100. A decimal must be less than one, so divide the top and bottom by 100. 0.25/1 or 0.25.

Answer 2

.25

Explanation:

multiply 1/4 by 25 over 25 to get 25 100

then you get your decimal answer of .25

1/4×25/25=25/100=.25
