Convert Fraction 2/100 to Percentage: Step-by-Step Guide

Percentage means "per hundred" - so you're finding how many parts out of 100. When you multiply $\frac{2}{100} \times 100$, you're asking "how many out of 100?"

Yes! When the denominator is 100, the numerator is your percentage. So $\frac{2}{100} = 2\%$, $\frac{25}{100} = 25\%$, etc.

That's a common mistake! You might have thought $\frac{2}{100} = \frac{2 \times 10}{100}$. Remember: the fraction already shows 2 out of 100, which is simply 2%.

Convert your percentage back to a decimal and compare! 2% = 0.02, and $\frac{2}{100} = 0.02$ ✓. They match!

Yes! Whether it's $\frac{1}{4}$, $\frac{3}{5}$, or $\frac{2}{100}$, you always multiply by 100 to convert to percentage. The denominator of 100 just makes the arithmetic easier!
