You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your question was to express 0.01 as a fraction. This would simply be 1/100.

However, what I think you meant was 0.01 with a line over the "01", which means a repeating decimal. It means 0.0101010101 . . . continuing the pattern FOREVER!

If this is the problem, then you are correct to say
Let x=0.01010101 . . .
100x = 1.01010101 . . .

Next, subtract 100x - x:
100x = 1.01010101 . . .
`-x = -0.01010101 . . .
_____________________
99x = 1.00000000

Divide both sides by 99, and you get
