Converting 1/4 x 100 to a Fraction ================================================{}
When we multiply 1/4 by 100, we need to follow the rule of fraction multiplication, which states that we need to multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and multiply the denominators (the numbers at the bottom), and then simplify the fraction.
The Calculation
1/4 x 100 = ?
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, we can convert the whole number to a fraction by placing it over 1. So, we can rewrite the multiplication problem as:
1/4 x 100/1 = ?
Now, we can multiply the numerators and denominators:
(1 x 100) / (4 x 1) = 100/4
Simplifying the Fraction
The fraction 100/4 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 100 and 4 is 4. So, we can simplify the fraction as:
100 ÷ 4 = 25 4 ÷ 4 = 1
So, the simplified fraction is:
25/1
Which is equal to 25.
Therefore, 1/4 x 100 as a fraction is equal to 25.
