Convert both measurements to the same unit.
We will convert meters to centimeters.
We know that $1 \text{ m} = 100 \text{ cm}$ .
Therefore, $3 \text{ m} = 3 \times 100 \text{ cm} = 300 \text{ cm}$ .
Express the first quantity as a fraction of the second quantity.
We need to express $25 \text{ cm}$ as a fraction of $300 \text{ cm}$ .
The fraction is $\frac{25 \text{ cm}}{300 \text{ cm}}$ .
Simplify the fraction.
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25.
$\frac{25}{300} = \frac{25 \div 25}{300 \div 25} = \frac{1}{12}$
The fraction is $\frac{1}{12}$ .
