ANSWER

1/5, 1/3, 1/4

Step-by-step explanation

We want to convert the given decimals to fraction.

The first step to do this is to write the number after the decimal point as a numerator.

Then, we take the decimal point as 1, count the number of digits after the decimal point and replace them with 0s. That will be the denominator.

That is:


\begin{gathered} 0.20\text{ = }(20)/(100)\text{ = }(1)/(5) \\ 0.33\text{ = }(33)/(100)\text{ }\cong(1)/(3)\text{ (because 0.33 is a recurring decimal)} \\ 0.25\text{ = }(25)/(100)\text{ = }(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

So, the answer is the third option.
