The KEY to converting decimals to percents is that you multiply by 100.
Taking .005 x 100 would move your decimal point 2 places to the right, giving you .5%

Ok, it's .5%
...and here's why.
The word "percent" is actually two words strung together:
"per", meaning "for every" and "cent", meaning "hundred". Therefore, a "percent" is a calculation of "parts for every hundred". All you need to do is move ethe decimal place over 2 places to the left, like you're multiplying by 100.
Now, the answer is .5%, so what you're really saying is that you have .5 for every 100 (or 1 for every 200). Math is fun.

.005= 5/1000
= 5/10 %
=1/2 %
= .5 %

0.5 percent.
Remember that to get percentages from raw numbers you move the decimal over to the left two times, and from percentages to numbers the other way (when working with base-10 numbers).
