Answer 1

The simplified fractional equivalent is
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

we know that

A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends. So, it's a decimal with a finite number of digits.

we have

`0.25`

Let

`x=0.25`

Multiply by 100 both sides

`100x=25`

Divide by 100 both sides

`x=(25)/(100)`

Simplify

Divide by 25 both numerator and denominator

`x=(1)/(4)`
