Eliana Gordon · Answer 1

We set up an equation: 0.005 / ? = 2/100

Cross multiply: 2*? = 0.005*100

⇒? = 0.005*100/2 = 0.25

2% of 0.25 is 0.005.

Briley · Answer 2

Let's call the mystery number ' W ' (for "which number").

You said that 2% of W is 0.005

0.02 x W = 0.005

Divide each side by 0.02 : W = 0.005 / 0.02 = 0.25.

2% of 0.25 is 0.005.
