If a probability is 0.25, what is the fraction form?

• A. 1/4
• B. 1/5
• C. 3/4
• D. 2/3

Answer: (A)

Converting a decimal to a fraction involves turning the decimal into a ratio of integers. For a number with two decimal places like 0.25, write it as 25 over 100. Then simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25, giving 1 over 4. So 0.25 equals 1/4. To double-check, 1/4 is the same as a quarter, which is 0.25. The other options don’t match: 1/5 is 0.2, 3/4 is 0.75, and 2/3 is about 0.6667.
