Which of the following fraction represents 1/4?

  1. 6/19

  2. 3/5

  3. 4/15

  4. 7/2

The correct answer is: 7/2

The fraction 1/4 can be written as 0.25 in decimal form. Option A, 6/19, is equal to approximately 0.316 which is much bigger than 0.25. Option B, 3/5, is equal to 0.6 which is too big to represent 1/4. Option C, 4/15, is equal to approximately 0.267 which is still bigger than 0.25. Option D, 7/2, is equal to 3.5 which is much bigger than 0.25. Therefore, the only option that represents 1/4 is D, 7/2.
