Here we will not only clearly explain how to get the answer to 0.02 as a fraction, but also prove to you that our answer is correct.

First, note that 100 multiplied by .02 will get rid of the decimal point. Therefore, make a fraction where the numerator is .02 times 100 and denominator is 100 like this:

		.02 x 100
		100

Next, multiply the numbers in the numerator together and keep the denominator as is. Now our fraction looks like this:

		2
		100

The greatest common factor of 2 and 100 is 2, which means you can divide the numerator and denominator by 2 and keep the same value:

		2 ÷ 2
		100 ÷ 2

And when calculating the numerator and denominator in our fraction above, we get .02 as a fraction in the simplest form possible:

.02 =

		1
		50

A numerator over a denominator in a fraction is the same as numerator divided by denominator. If you enter 1 divided by 50 on your calculator, you will see that the answer is 0.02. Therefore, we know that the answer above is correct.
