Question

Convert the following percentage into fraction in simplest form: $ 25\% $

Answer 1

Hint: Basically, Percentage is defined as the number per hundred. Or simply we can say divided by 100. So, we will find $ 25\% $ The required answer so obtained will be simplified to its simplest form such as removing the common multiple from the numerator and denominator.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given the number is $ 25\% $ is to be expressed in the form of fraction
 So, \[25\% = \dfrac{{25}}{{100}}\]
So, here find the factors for the term in the denominator
\[ = \dfrac{{25}}{{25 \times 4}}\]
Simplify the above expression, removing the common factors from the numerator and the denominator since they cancel each other.
 $ = \dfrac{1}{4} $
This is the required solution.
So, the correct answer is “ $ \dfrac{1}{4} $ ”.

Note: : Sometimes note that “of” operator suggests the multiplication. This is the only basic thing to note and remember. Also note that sometimes the language of the question is what percent and thus used the “of” operator and is actually multiplication. Fractions are expressed and well defined as the part of the whole. Generally, it represents any number of equal parts and it defines the part from a certain size and it is the number specified in the form of numerator upon the denominator
