No because 1/4 = 25%; think of percent as per hundred.

So 40% = 40/100, which simplifies to 2/5, which is not the same as 1/4. While 25% = 25/100, which simplifies to 1/4.

If you have a fraction and want to know what the percent is, then multiply the fraction by 100, do the division, and the answer is the number of percent. For example: 1/4 multiply by 100 = 100/4. Take 100 divided by 4 = 25, so it's 25%.
