that is what you just said. 0.2 two tenths, 20 hundredths, 200 thousandths.

0.2 is already in decimal form.

It would be read as: two-tenths, or two-tenths (of one). Or, since it can be read as a fraction, since 0.2 is less than one, you would have 20%. Another way to understand this decimal is to convert it to it's lowest common denominator. Understanding that 0.2 = 2/10 (two-tenths), you can see that you can divide the numerator and the denominator by 2 and get an answer of 2/10 = 1/5.

***

Actually 0.2% can be further explained as a decimal. The point is that this number (0.2%) is truly a % so it is not in pure decimal form. If you look at the percentage it is 0.2% and it is in the tens place. To move it to a true decimal you would move the decimal 2 times to the left making it 0.002.
