The are like- whether they are terms or not depends on how they are used.
The could be terms or actors or exponents or something else entirely.
The fraction 2/25 simplified is 1/6. ~I
8/100 = 2/25
54
10/25 = 2/5
8% as a fraction in lowest terms is 2/25
9 / 25 = 3(2) / 5(2) in this format it is already reduced (simplified) to lowest terms,
As a fraction it is equivalent to 2/25 in its lowest terms
2/5
"Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other.
.25, take the average of the two by summing them and dividing by the number of terms, 2. (.2+.3)/2 = .25
3X + 2 + X - 6 = 25 gather like terms, 2 and -6 added together and X and 3X added together 4X - 4 = 25
When the independent variable is of the same degree. Ex. 3x and -5x are like terms. 6 and 9 are like terms. 7x^2 and 9x^3 are NOT like terms.
