The experimental probability that the next baby born will be a girl is approximately 56%.

Out of the 90 newborns, 50 of them are female. 50/90 = 0.555555...

To convert this decimal to a fraction, you must first round to the nearest hundredth (0.56). Then multiply the decimal by one hundred. (You should be left off with the end result of 56%.) :-)
