Question

Select the option which represents the portion of the colored part as $25\%.$

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Let's convert $25\%$ to a fraction.

A percent is 1 part out of 100.
$\Rightarrow 1\%=\frac{1}{100}$
$\therefore 25\%=25\times \frac{1}{100}=\frac{25}{1}\times \frac{1}{100}=\frac{25\times 1}{1\times 100}=\frac{25}{100}$

Simplifying the fraction, we get
$=\frac{5\times 5}{5\times 5\times 4}$
Cancel out the common factors, we get
$=\frac{1}{4}$

For the fraction $\frac{1}{4}:$
Denominator is $4\to \text{Total number of equal parts in the whole}$

Numerator is $1\to \text{Number of colored parts}$

Hence, is the correct option.
