Question

1/4 as a decimal
1/4 as a percent

Answer 1

1/4 = 0.25 = 25%

Explanation:

Think of it like this, you have 1 huge pizza with 100 slices.

if you divide the 1 pizza by 4 you'll get 25.

25 can go into 100, 4 times.

so since it can go into 100, 4 times, that means 25 slices of this pizza would be a fourth or 1/4.

Now the same can be said for the decimal value, 0.25 of the pizza would be 25 slices.

If you add up 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 1, so the 0.25 is a fourth still of the pizza.

and if you look at the percentage of the pizza it's 100%, just like how the pizza has 100 slices, each slice is equal to 1% of the pizza.

So if you wanted to find 1/4 percentage of this pizza you'd have to figure out what number of slices can complete the pizza in 4 parts.

remember 25 can go into 100, 4 times.

so the percentage we're looking for would be 25% which would be 25 slices just like the amount of slices the 1/4 has and the amount of slices the 0.25 has.

So if:

`1/4=25 slices\\0.25=25slices\\25 percent=25slices`

than:
`1/4=0.25=25percent`
