A. Write this using a % symbol

One-fourth of 1 percent = (1/4)*(1 percent)

One-fourth of 1 percent = (1/4*1) percent

One-fourth of 1 percent = 1/4 percent

One-fourth of 1 percent = 1/4 %


--------------------------------------------------------------
B. Express it as a fraction


1/4 % = (1/4)/100

1/4 % = (1/4)/(100/1)

1/4 % = (1/4)*(1/100)

1/4 % = (1*1)/(4*100)

1/4 % = 1/400

---------------------------------------------------------------

C. Express it as a decimal


1/4 % = (1/4)/100

1/4 % = (0.25)/100

1/4 % = 0.0025
