Question

Write the unit fraction depicted in the model as a percent.

One-fourth =
%

Answer 1

To convert the unit fraction \( \frac{1}{4} \) to a percentage, you can follow these steps:

1. Start with the fraction \( \frac{1}{4} \).
2. Divide 1 by 4 to get the decimal: \[ 1 \div 4 = 0.25 \]
3. To convert the decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100: \[ 0.25 \times 100 = 25 \]

So, \( \frac{1}{4} = 25% \).
