We are given a division and are asked to express its' result as a percentage. Therefore, we start by solving the division:


(4)/(900)=0.004444

Now, in order to convert a number with a decimal into a percent, we multiply it by 100 and add the "%".


0.004444\cdot100=0.4444

Therefore, the answer is 0.4444%

The answer 1/225 that the math apps give you is incomplete, you are missing the next steps, which are multiplying it by 100, writing it as a decimal, and adding the "%". It gives you the exact same answer
