.25 is read as "twenty-five hundredths" which sounds exactly like how it would be as a fraction: 25/100 ("twenty-five-hundredths"). This can be reduced by dividing the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) of the fraction by 25 to get 1/4.

Likewise, when you have 25/100, you can also divide the numerator and denominator by 5 to get 5/20 and then divide both by 5 again to get 1/4.

Note: .25 would equal 25% if you are talking about percents.
