Question

How do you convert $0.02$ into a fraction?

Answer 1

Hint:
In the given question, we have been asked to convert a decimal number into a fraction. To convert to a fraction we simply have to remove the decimal points by multiplying with powers of $10$.

Complete step by step answer:
The given decimal number is $0.02$.
Now, to convert the decimal into a fraction we will multiply it by $100$ on the numerator and denominator.
 \[0.02=0.02\times \dfrac{100}{100}~~\]
 $=\dfrac{2}{100}$.

Hence, the decimal $0.02$ can be written $\dfrac{2}{100}$ as a fraction.

Note:
So, for solving questions of such type, we first write what has been given to us, and then we get the fraction by trying to remove the decimal points from it, which can be done by the number with powers of 10 in both the numerator and denominator.
