Answer:

94/100

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide by 10, we only need to move the decimal point one point to the left. So,

9/10 = 0.9

Therefore, the point is a number between 9/10 and 1 or a number between 0.9 and 1.

In the same way, when we divide by 100, we need to move the decimal point two places to the left, so:

86/100 = 0.86

90/100 = 0.9

94/100 = 0.94

101/100 = 1.01

Since the only number between 0.9 and 1 is 0.94, the fraction that represent the point is 94/100
