To change a a fraction that is a hundredth to a decimal, you just use the first number as a percent, so the answer is 102%. The reason this works is because a percent is a number relevant to a hundred units. Where 1% is 1/100, 102/100 would be 102%. For the next problem we have 5.5 percent. To get it to a decimal we turn it to a fraction first, which is 5.5/100, and then we will divide by 100. We move the decimal to the left twice, giving us 0.055 as the decimal form.
