Answer: 51/100

Explanation:

I'm assuming that the numerator is supposed to be a whole number, because there is an infinite number of answers if it is not a whole number. 5/10 can be rewritten as 50/100 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 10. The only fraction with a whole number numerator between 50/100 and 52/100 is 51/100. Hope this helped!
