Answer:

4/9

Explanation:

  • The denominator is the bottom value of a fraction, therefore we can discount 9/2
  • 1/9 = 2/18. 2/18 is smaller than 3/18 so we can discount 1/9
  • 50/100 = 0.5
    5/9 = 0.55555...
    0.55555... is greatest than 0.5, therefore we can discount 5/9
  • Answer is 4/9
