Question 7 (e)

Write as a fraction in the lowest term:

0.25

Answer 1

Fraction: Representing a number in the form $\frac{a}{b}$, where a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero

Lowest Form: A fraction is said to be in the simplest (or lowest) form if its numerator and denominator have no common factor except 1.

$0.25$

$=\frac{\text{/}25}{\text{/}100}$ (dividing numerator and denominator by 25)

$=\frac{1}{4}$
