one-fourth

--feedback--

This is the correct way to say ¼ in words. Remember to use -.

--explanation--

Fractions are used to describe parts of a whole.

One-fourth (¼) is one part out of four equal parts. Other examples:

  • ½ = one-half

  • ⅓ = one-third

  • ¾ = three-fourths

In Alice's case, one-fourth of the development budget is spent on back-end development, which shows how money is divided within a category.
