how does 1 divided by 4.00 = 0.25?

Answer 1

Think of it this way....you have four quarters(1$). If you divide it by four, you have one quarter or .25 So 1.00divided by 4 =.25

Answer 2

This really should be in the math/homework section, but 1 divided by 4 can be written as a fraction as 1/4, and if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by a factor of 25, it gives you 25/100, which would be converted to a decimal as 0.25 (that is twenty five one hundreds). Another way to think of it as in money, like $1.00 divided by 4 is 4 quarters, and each quarter is 25 cents, or $0.25.

Answer 3

Think of it this way ... put your dollar bill down on the table.

Take out four Quarters from your change purse ... and yes, you do recognize that four quarters equals a dollar.

Pull one quarter out ... and if you need to express this in terms of numbers ... it is either 0.25 or 1/4!

Answer 4

If you had one dollar and had to give equal amounts to four peolpe each of them would have a quarter or .25 cents.

Hope that helps. When dividing 1 by anything try to think in terms of a dollar bill.

Answer 5

because 1 is a smaller number than 4. so the answer will be a decimal. dont look it as 1 divided by 4 look it as one fourths or 1/4ths and that is smaller than one.

Answer 6

Thats what you get when you take the number 1 and split it into 4 pieces. Therefore:

0.25
0.25
0.25
+ 0.25
=1

Thats it

Answer 7

What's 100 divided by 4 = ?
Same thing, only smaller.

Answer 8

because 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 =1
if you say divide 100 by 4 you get 25

Answer 9

Because 4 won't go into 1 one whole time. Only 1/4 of it will go in. .25 is 25/100, which equals 1/4.

Answer 10

bcoz four .25s will form 1. simple! try doing .25 x 4. the answer is 1.
