Here, we are going to learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.
The answer for 0.25% as a fraction will be 1/400.
Converting a percentage to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.
Step 1: Firstly, convert the percentage to a fraction by considering the percentage as a fraction over 100. Here, 0.25% is the number on the numerator and 100 will be the denominator. Then, 0.25% becomes 0.25/100.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are only 2 decimal places). 0.25/100 × 100/100 = 25/10000
Step 3: Here 25 is the GCD of 25 and 10000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 25. 25/10000 = 1/400 Hence, 0.25% is in the form of the fraction 1/400.
Thus, 0.25% can be written as a fraction 1/400.
