one fourth, written as 1/4, is in simplest form and cannot be simplified further.
However, it can be converted to either a decimal or percent.
To convert to a decimal, just divide the numerator by the denominator.
This is 1 divided by 4, which equals 0.25.
To change to a percent, multiply the decimal by 100 and add a percent sign.
one fourth in fraction form: 1/4
one fourth in decimal form: 0.25
one fourth in percent form: 25%

Hope this helps!
