Question

Convert $0.25$ into fractions .

Answer 1

Step 1 : Convert a decimal number into fraction :

$\Rightarrow 0.25=\frac{0.25}{1}$

Step 2 : Multiply $100$ in the numerator and denominator as well in order to remove the decimal point as :

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.25\times 100}{1\times 100}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{25}{100}$ ( When decimal number gets multiplied by $100$ , the decimal point shifts two places to the right )

$\Rightarrow \frac{25÷25}{100÷25}$ ( Dividing numerator and denominator by $25$ in the fraction , to get the lowest form )

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}$

Thus , the fraction form of the decimal number $0.25$ is $\frac{1}{4}$
