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