Answer 1

`(1)/(50)`

Explanation:

`\text{Kyle wants to compare 0.02 to }(1)/(4) \text{ using fractions}\\\\\text{we need to convert 0.02 into fractional form.}\\\\\text{to convert a decimal into fractional form we divide by }10^n,\\\text{where n is the number of digits after decimal, and remove decimals}\\\text{from the number.}\\`

`\text{here in 0.02, we can see that the number of digits ater decimal is 2,}\\\text{so to convert it into fractional form, we get}\\\\0.02=(2)/(10^2)\\\\=(2)/(100)\\\\=(1)/(50)\\\\\text{so in decimal form, we can write 0.02 as }(1)/(50)\\`
