try doing a number line :

0.5____________________________0_________________________5/8

so then you need to convert 0.5 into a fraction so it looks like this :

0.5 is equal to 5/10 then you simplify 5/10 :

5 can go into 5 once so that's 1
and
5 can go into 10 twice so that's 2

so you just simplify 5/10 into 1/2
so your number line should now look something like this:

5/8_________________________________________________________1/2

then you can convert your fractions into percents

A.1/4 is 25%
B.8/28 is 28.5% (not sure)
C.9/16 is 56% (not sure )
D. 19/25 is 76%

then you convert your numbers on your numbers line so that would be the fractions 5/8 and 1/2

5/8 is 63%
1/2 is 50%

put them on a number line like this

50%_______________________________________63%

and your answers
A.25%
B.28.5%
C.56%
D.76%

** Now you can easily scratch A. B. and D. because there either too high or too low !!!

And the Answer is C. 56% or in the original question it would be C. 9/16
