Express 2 out of 50 as a percentage.

To express a fraction as a percentage, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply by 100. In this case, you have 2 as the numerator and 50 as the denominator.

The calculation to find the percentage is as follows:

1. Divide 2 by 50:

( \frac{2}{50} = 0.04 )

2. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage:

( 0.04 \times 100 = 4% )

Therefore, 2 out of 50 represents 4%. This means that the correct answer is 4%, which corresponds to the fourth option. By understanding this calculation, you can apply the same method to convert other fractions into percentages confidently.
