Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
In binary fractions, the first position after the binary point has value 2^-1 = 1/2, the second has value 2^-2 = 1/4, and so on. The decimal value 0.25 is equal to 1/4, so it is written as 0.01 in binary. Therefore, the correct option is that 0.25 is equivalent to the binary value 0.01.
