Anewspaper reporter wrote an article about the amount of a toxin found in a river near a factory. in the articles, the reporter incorrectly used 0.25 as the decimal from of (1 over 4 ℅

what is the right way to write (1 over 4 ℅) as a decimal?

a . 0.0025

b. he divided 1 by 4 to obtain the decimal expression of 1/4, but is still a percentage form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to write the percentage in decimal form we have to divide it by 100.

(1/4) /100 = 0.0025

The reporter’s error was that he divided 1 by 4 to obtain the decimal expression of 1/4, but is still a percentage form.

1/4 % = 0.25 %  

To fix the error he should have divided the result by 100.

0.25 /100 = 0.0025  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
