Question

Write as fractions in lowest term

$0.25$

Answer 1

$0.25$ in the lowest term

$0.25$ can be written as $\frac{25}{100}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}0.25& =& \frac{25}{100}\\ & =& \frac{25\times 1}{25\times 4}\\ & =& \frac{\cancel{25}\times 1}{\cancel{25}\times 4}\\ & =& \frac{1}{4}\end{array}$

Hence the simplest form of $0.25$ is $\frac{1}{4}$.
