Write 25% as a fraction

Step by step

The question

Question: write 25% as a fraction.

1 Write it over 100

Percent means out of 100.

So 25% is 25/100.

2 Simplify

25 and 100 can both be divided by 25.

That makes it simpler.

So 25% is 1/4.

Can we make it simpler?

No number goes into both 1 and 4, except 1.

So it stays like this.

3 Check

Let's check: make the bottom 100 again.

4 times 25 is 100.

1 times 25 is 25.

25 out of 100 is 25%.

So the answer is right!

Let's look back.

First: write it over 100.

Then: simplify.

Last: check.
