The answer for 0.005% as a fraction will be 1/20000.

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 it by 100. Here, 0.005% becomes 0.00005 in decimal form.

Step 2: Any decimal number should be converted to fraction for easy calculation. Here, 0.00005 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.00005 becomes 0.00005/1.

Step 3: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000000 (because there are 5 decimal places). 0.00005/1 × 1000000/1000000 = 50/1000000

Step 4: Here 50 is the GCD of 50 and 1000000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 50. 50/1000000 = 1/20000 Hence, 0.005% is in the form of a fraction of 1/20000.

Thus, 0.005% can be written as a fraction 1/20000.
