Answer:

1/2% is 0.005, which is actually less than 0.0057

Explanation:

Percent means "Per hundred" so an easy way to solve this is to multiply 1/2 by 0.01 (which is 1 percent). This gives you 0.005.

To prove this works, let's check 50% the same way. Multiply 50 by 0.01 and we get 0.5 which is one half of a whole.
