Which of the following fractions is smaller than 1/4?
1) 9/25
2)7/12
3)6/9
4)7/11

To determine which of the fractions is smaller than \( \frac{1}{4} \), let's compare each fraction by converting them to decimal form.

- \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)

Now, let's calculate the decimal values of each given fraction:

1) \( \frac{9}{25} = 0.36 \)
2) \( \frac{7}{12} \approx 0.583 \)
3) \( \frac{6}{9} = 0.666 \)
4) \( \frac{7}{11} \approx 0.636 \)

The decimal value of each fraction is greater than 0.25, meaning none of these fractions is smaller than \( \frac{1}{4} \).

Thus, none of the fractions provided are smaller than \( \frac{1}{4} \).
