Answer
$\frac{2}{50}$
Work Step by Step
We are given the decimal .04. In order to write this decimal as a fraction, we can divide .04 by 1 (which is equivalent to having .04 as the numerator and 1 as the denominator).
$.04\div1=\frac{.04}{1}$
Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by factors of 1 until both have no decimal points and are in simplest form.
$\frac{.04}{1}=\frac{.04\times100}{1\times100}=\frac{4}{100}$
Reduce to simplest form.
$\frac{4}{100}=\frac{4\div2}{100\div2}=\frac{2}{50}$
