2/100 =2%

Explanation:

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

1/50 *2/2

=2/100

=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,

1/50 *100

=100/50

=2%
