Convert the decimal to:
a fraction and a percentage:
Eliminate the decimal point
The decimal point in 0.25 is 2 place(s) from the right.
Multiply 0.25 by 10 raised to the power of 2 = 100
Multiplying the decimal by 100 is the same as
shifting the decimal point 2 places to the right.
decimal ---> Whole number = 0.25 * 100 = 25
Express this as a fraction
Take our whole number divided by our multiplier:
| 0.25 as a Fraction = | 25 |
| 100 |
Simplify our fraction
Our fraction is not fully reduced.
Using our GCF Calculator, we can reduce top and bottom of the fraction by 25
| 0.25 as a Fraction = | 1 |
| 4 |
0.25 as a Fraction = 1/4
Calculate the percentage for the decimal
Percentage for decimal = Decimal x 100%
Multiplying by 100 is the same as
shifting the decimal point 2 places to the right.
Shifting 0.25 one decimal place to the right, we get --> 2.5
Shifting 2.5 another decimal place to the right
and adding a percentage (%) sign, we get --> 25
Write this as a ratio:
Ratio = Numerator : Denominator
Ratio = 1 : 4
