you mean 0.2 right?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
and you want this as a fraction?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
if so, then
0.2 = 2/10 because the 2 is in the tenths place
now you just reduce 2/10 to get your final answer

sorry jim
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that's ok
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
2% = 2/100 by definition (x% = x/100)
so 2% = 2/100 = 1/50 after you reduce
this means 2% converts to the fraction 1/50
------------------------------------------
2% = 0.02 (move the decimal 2 spots to the left)
or you can just evaluate 2/100 to get 0.02 which is the same answer
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so 2% as a decimal is 0.02

ok thank you, could not make my mind up if it was 0.02 or 2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's 0.02
the number 2 refers to 200%, which is quite different
