Explanation

Converting a percentage to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

Step 1: Firstly, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. Here, 0.004% becomes 0.00004.

Step 2: Convert the decimal to a fraction by placing it over 1: 0.00004/1.
