Like Muzzard said, you're adding the 2 together and so all your previous maths makes sense. Though I am still confused how 1/4 works out as 25% by doing it my way and NOT by adding the 2 sides together.
Wat
1/4 is a quarter which is a fraction, not a ratio or a percentage, which = 25% ldo.
4:1, is a ratio = 20% ldo
1/4 actually is a ratio, in fact 0.25 is a RATIONAL number
4:1 is not, it's using the odds notation
Typically we refer to something of the form a/b as a proportion, and something of the form c:d as a ratio to denote a difference in the expressions. Odds notation is an example of a ratio, and probability notation is an example of a proportion.
