The answer is 9/16 because 56 1/4% = 56.25% and any percent is out of 100 so into a fraction it's 56.25/100. Because it's now a decimal over a fraction you divide 56.25 by 100 to get .5625 but every number is over 1 so now you have .5625/1 now that you have this fraction you have to make the decimal whole so you would multiply .5625/1 by 10000/10000 and get 5625/10000. You simplify 5625/10000 and get 9/16.
