Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

To convert 0.02¯¯¯¯¯ to a fraction, we can denote it as x and subtract it from 100x to eliminate the repeating decimal:

100x - x = 2.02¯¯¯¯¯ - 0.02¯¯¯¯¯
99x = 2
x = 2/99

Therefore, the correct answer is 2/99.

Certainly! To convert the decimal 0.02¯¯¯¯¯ to a fraction, we can first denote it as x:

x = 0.02¯¯¯¯¯

To get rid of the repeating decimal, we can multiply x by 100, which will move the decimal point two places to the right:

100x = 2.02¯¯¯¯¯

Now, let's subtract x from 100x:

100x - x = 2.02¯¯¯¯¯ - 0.02¯¯¯¯¯

On the left side, the x terms cancel out:

99x = 2

Finally, we divide both sides by 99 to solve for x:

x = 2/99

Therefore, the fraction equivalent of 0.02¯¯¯¯¯ is 2/99.
