    Decimal is easy, you just slide it two more spots to the left, adding 0’s as needed:

    2.5% = .025

    The fraction is achieved by placing the 2.5 over 100 and simplifying:

    2.5/100

    Double both sides to remove the decimal:

    5/200

    Divide both sides by 5 to simplify:

    1/40

    If you think about it the fraction is the same as 2.5/100, or 25/1000, and this can be simplified down to 1/40.

    The decimal equivalent of this is 0.025, (which is just 2.5/100, or 2.5 shifted two places to the right).

    To get the decimal, divide by 100. 2.5 / 100 = 0.025
    To get the fraction, do the following:
    .025 = .025/1 multiply both sides by 1000… 25/1000
    then simplify… 25/1000 = 5/200 = 1/40
