No, Nina did not write the decimal correctly.

50 is half of 100, or 50% of 100.
To convert a percentage into a decimal, put a decimal point two spaces to the left of the percentage sign.
In this case, it would be 0.50.

Good luck, and I hope this helped.

Yes, she did, because the place of the digit (5) is in the hundredth place, indicating that she used 100 beads.
