Question

Is 2/5 the same as 0.25

Answer 1

No because 2 divided by 5 equals 0.4
0.25 equals 1/4

Answer 2

A fraction means division, and when you actually do the division,
you get the decimal equivalent of the fraction.

2/5  means "divide  2  by  5".  When you divide  2  by  5, you get 0.4 .
Close examination reveals that this is not the same as 0.25 .
