Answer 5

I'm sorry I took so long!

Lets try a different way. Change all the options to fractions.
1/4

A) 2/4
B) 6/20
C) 8/32
D) 12/64

Can you find the decimal form of each one of these? Divide the numerator by the denominator.1/4 = 1 divided by 4 = 0.25

Once you come up with the one that also has a decimal of 0.25, you'll have your answer. This is a much faster way. (:
