Question

express 0.25 in the form of p/q
​

Answer 1

Multiply and divide 0.25 by 100.

=> 0.25 = 0.25 × 100/100

= (0.25×100)/100

= 25/100

= 25/(25×4)

= 1/4

Hence, 0.25 in the form of p/q is [1/4].

Answer 2

Given:

A decimal=0.25

To find:

The decimal in p/q form

Solution:

The required fraction is 1/4.

We can obtain the p/q form of the decimal given by converting it into a fraction.

The given decimal=0.25

Now we will express it as a fraction by removing the decimal.

The fraction=25/100

=5×5/5×20

=5/20

=5×1/5×4

=1/4

So, p=1 and q=4.

p/q=1/4

Therefore, the required fraction is 1/4.
