Which is greater 1/3 or 0.25
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}=0.333\ldots\), whereas \(0.25=\frac{1}{4}\). Since \(0.333\ldots > 0.25\), \(\frac{1}{3}\) is greater. The “both are equal” option is incorrect because their decimal values are different. Exam tip: compare fractions by converting them to decimals or by using a common denominator.
