How do you convert 1/4 into a percent and decimal?

Answer 1

Nathan Axel

See the entire solution process below:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore x% can be written as #x/100#.

The problem of converting this fraction to a percent can be expressed as follows:

#1/4 = x/100#

#color(red)(100) * 1/4 = color(red)(100) * x/100#

#color(red)(100)/4 = cancel(color(red)(100)) * x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100)))#

#25 = x#

#x = 25#

Therefore: #1/4# is #25/100 = # 25%

Changing to a decimal:

#25/100# is the same as 25 one-hundredths or:

#1/4 = 0.25#
