$\frac{2}{100} = 2 %$ $2/100 =2%$

Explanation:

To change any fraction we multiply by 1 or $\frac{x}{x}$ $x/x$
a percentage is out of 100 so in this case, we will multiply our original fraction by $\frac{2}{2}$ $2/2$ to find our percentage

$\frac{1}{50} \cdot \frac{2}{2}$ $1/50 *2/2$

$= \frac{2}{100}$ $=2/100$

$= 2 %$ $=2%$

another way of find a percentage from any fraction is by multiplying is by 100 this way converts it to a percentage already.

in this case,

$\frac{1}{50} \cdot 100$ $1/50 *100$

$= \frac{100}{50}$ $=100/50$

$= 2 %$ $=2%$
