Answer:

The simplified fractional equivalent is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A terminating decimal is a decimal that ends. So, it's a decimal with a finite number of digits.

we have

[tex]0.25[/tex]

Let

[tex]x=0.25[/tex]

Multiply by 100 both sides

[tex]100x=25[/tex]

Divide by 100 both sides

[tex]x=\frac{25}{100}[/tex]

Simplify

Divide by 25 both numerator and denominator

[tex]x=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
