Here are some good links to use if you need help again with this: http://www.csgnetwork.com/decimal2fractwecalc.html = decimal to fraction calculator http://www.webmath.com/dec2fract.html = decimal to fraction calculator (w/ breakdown) .02 = 1/50 but if you need it broken down on exactly how to do it: Here's how to convert .02 to a fraction... There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write .02 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .02, means.

Since there are 2 digits in 02, the very last digit is the "100th" decimal place. So we can just say that .02 is the same as 02/100. The fraction 2/100 is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2. Why divide by 2? 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)

or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 2 and 100. So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is 1/50. So your final answer is: .02 can be written as the fraction 1/50.
