Question

Write 1/4 as a decimal

Answer 1

1/4 as a decimal would be .25

There are 2 ways to do it:

1. you divide 4 into 1:


. 2 5
---------
4| 1 . 0 0
- 8
--------
2 0
2 0


2. make a common denominator of 100:

1 * 25 25
----- = ------ and turn this into a decimal (divide 100 into 25)
4 * 25 100 to get .25

Answer 2

it would be .25 because you have to make it 100 so you do 25 times 4 to get 100 then you do 25 times 1 to get 25 so it is .25
