Question

How do you convert $0.01$ into a fraction and percent?

Answer 1

Hint:
In the given question, we have been asked to convert a decimal number into a percent and a fraction. To convert to a fraction we simply have to remove the decimal points by multiplying with powers of 10 and the percent can be obtained by multiplying that decimal by 100.

Complete step by step solution:
The given decimal number is $0.01$.
For converting any decimal to percent, we just multiply the decimal by 100 .
Hence, $0.01=(0.01\times 100)%=1%$.
Now, to convert the decimal into a fraction we will multiply it by 100 on the numerator and denominator.
 $0.01=0.01\times \dfrac{100}{100}$
 $=\dfrac{1}{100}$.

Hence, the decimal $0.01$ can be written $1%$ as a percent and $\dfrac{1}{100}$ as a fraction.

Note:
So, for solving questions of such type, we first write what has been given to us and then we simply get the percentage by multiplying the decimal into 100 and similarly we get the fraction by trying to remove the decimal points from it.
