Use division and multiplication

Explanation:

Convert any fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Numerator = 2
Denominator = 10

Numerator-:Denominator = 2-:10=0.2

0.2 is 2/10 in decimal form.

Convert decimal numbers into percentages by multiplying the decimal by 100.

Decimal =0.2

0.2xx100=20%

Remember to add the % symbol at the end of decimals converted to percentages.
