If you divide all the fractions and make them decimals you get
A: 0.333333333333
B: 0.25
C: 0.2
D: 0.125
So when you round 0.24999999 to the hundreds place you get 0.25 because the 4 rounds up to 5 since there is a 9 in the thousandths place.

Hope this helps!! :)

If you round the decimal then it would go to 0.25. But as a fraction it would be 1/4

hopes this helps
