Which form is correct when (1.25) is written as a fraction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\frac{5}{4}\)
Writing 1.25 as hundredths gives \(1.25=\frac{125}{100}\). Dividing the numerator and denominator by 25 simplifies this to \(\frac{5}{4}\), so option A is correct. Option B equals 12.5, option C equals 0.25, and option D equals 0.8. Exam tip: when a decimal has two digits after the decimal point, first write it over 100 and then reduce the fraction.
