#2/100 =2%#

Explanation:

To change any fraction we multiply by 1 or #x/x#
a percentage is out of 100 so in this case, we will multiply our original fraction by #2/2# to find our percentage

#1/50 *2/2#

#=2/100#

#=2%#

another way of find a percentage from any fraction is by multiplying is by 100 this way converts it to a percentage already.

in this case,

#1/50 *100#

#=100/50#

#=2%#
