Hello. Today we're going to be rewriting the given fraction in decimal and percentage notation. So what we are given is one over 100 now because we have 100 in the denominator. We want to go ahead and represent this as a decimal with two decimal places. As a decimal. With two decimal places represents the hundreds place. But what's gonna go in the hundreds place for the given decimal while we're going to put one in the hundreds place as we only have one piece out of a total of 100. So in order to rewrite one over 100 in decimal notation we're going to write it as 0.01 with one being in the hundreds place of the decimal. So this is going to be the decimal notation for the given fraction. Now let's go ahead and rewrite the decimal as a percentage. So again we found that the decimal is 0.01 and any time we want to rewrite the decimal as a percentage, we want to go ahead and multiply that value by 100%. And multiplying 0.01 by 100 is going to give us 1% which is going to be the percentage for the given fraction. So again The decimal notation for the given fraction is 0.01 and the percentage notation is going to be 1%. With that being said. The answer to this problem is going to be C. So I hope this video helps you in understanding how to approach this problem and I'll go ahead and see you all in the next video.
