Multiply by 100 to get a percent: 1/2 × 100 = 100/2. Then divide 100 by 2.
$\frac{1}{2} \times 100 = \frac{100}{2}$
2
2 goes into 100 50 times with 0 left over, so the whole part is 50.
3
Long division: bring down a zero each time (multiply the remainder by 10), divide by 2, and write the digit. The remainder reaches 0 after 0 steps, so the decimal ends.
4
The result is
