Final answer:

To convert 2% to a fraction, write it as a fraction with denominator 100, then simplify if possible.


Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 2% to a fraction, we write the percentage as a fraction with a denominator of 100. So, 2% = 2/100.

Next, we simplify the fraction if possible. To do this, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, we can divide both 2 and 100 by 2 to simplify the fraction.

Therefore, 2% as a simplified fraction is 1/50.
