Verified Answer :

it would be .25 because you have to make it 100 so you do 25 times 4 to get 100 then you do 25 times 1 to get 25 so it is .25

1/4 as a decimal would be .25

There are 2 ways to do it:

1. you divide 4 into 1:


       .  2  5
   ---------
4| 1 . 0  0
    -    8
   --------
          2  0
          2  0


2. make a common denominator of 100:

  1        25            25
-----                =    ------  and turn this into a decimal (divide 100 into 25)
  4    
   25           100   to get .25
