Question

Probability can be expressed as either a decimal, a percentage or a fraction. But no

matter what form it takes, it means the same thing, 1/10, 0.1 and 10% are all different ways
of expressing the same probability.
An easy way to convert a percentage to a fraction is to put the number of the percentage
over 100 and then simplify, for example, 75% is the same as 75/100, or 3/4 The first two
places after a decimal point are the same as a percentage: 0.15 is equal to 15%, and 0.3 is
equal to 30%

Which probability is equal to 25%?
A
5/100
B
1/4
С
25/1
D
4/5

Answer 1

B. 1/4

Explanation:

The easiest way to find the answer here is to (if you have one) use a calculator to divide each fraction.

When divided 1/4, you get .25, and as the explanation says, "The first two places after a decimal point are the same as a percentage: 0.15 is equal to 15%, and 0.3 is equal to 30%."

So, moving the decimal to the right two times will give you your probability of 25%.

Hope this helps :)
