Answer explanation

1/4 is like having 1 quarter out of the 4 quarters it takes to make dollar. A quarter is worth 25 cents, so if you have 1 out of 4 quarters, you have 25 percent of your whole dollar!

• 24%

• 20%

• 50%

• 85%

Answer explanation

2/4 is like having 2 quarters out of the 4 quarters it takes to make dollar. A quarter is worth 25 cents, so if you have 2 out of 4 quarters, you have 50 cents, which is 50 percent of your whole dollar!

• 34%

• 43%

• 70%

• 75%

Answer explanation

3/4 is like having 3 quarters out of the 4 quarters it takes to make dollar. A quarter is worth 25 cents, so if you have 3 out of 4 quarters, you have 75 cents, which is 75 percent of your whole dollar!

• 4%

• 44%

• 80%

• 100%

Answer explanation

4/4 is like having ALL 4 quarters out of the 4 quarters it takes to make a dollar, so you have a whole dollar! A quarter is worth 25 cents, so if you have 4 out of 4 quarters, you have 100 cents, which is 100 percent of your whole dollar!

• 84%

• 48%

• 80%

• 200%

Answer explanation

8/4 is like having 8 quarters, but it only takes 4 quarters to make a dollar. So you have enough quarters to make a dollar...TWICE! That's $2!

Each time you make a dollar, that's 100%, and you can make a dollar twice, so that's 200%.

• 75%

• 325%

Answer explanation

13/4 is having 13 quarters, and each set of 4 quarters is a dollar. If a dollar = 100%, then having 13 quarters has to be more than 100%. 12 of the quarters together makes 3 whole dollars (or 300%), with the 13th quarter being worth 25%. 300%+25% = 325%

Answer explanation

Both fractions represent fourths, meaning both have the same denominator: 4

Where they differ is the numerator (or top number) of the fractions. The larger top number means you have more of the pieces, so it's the larger fraction of the two.

Answer explanation

Remember, 1/4 represents 1 quarter, and a quarter is worth 25 cents. We write money like this when we have 25 cents: $0.25

You can also think of it as 25 hundredths and make sure to write it in the proper place value spot.
