Explanation:

Firstly one half(1/2) represents 0.50 as a decimal and 1 would be 1.00

This is like saying finding Fractions that give you percentages between 50% and 100%

for example:

you could simplify 52/100 and get 31/50

31/50 as a decimal would be 0.52 and 0.52 falls between(0.50 and 1.00) 1/2 and 1

example 2: 89/100= 0.9 (same as0.90) and [90/100] is same as 9/10 = 0.9

0.90 or 0.9 (zero point nine) is not the same as 0.09(zero point zero nine

If you are using a casio calculator, you can simplify the fraction by putting in your numerator then pressing |a b/c| button then enter the denominator, then the calculator should simplify the fraction, if the fraction remains the same, this means that it cant be further simplified.if your calculator has

| a b/c| then you can also use it.

or use an online calculator or simplify if you wish

To find the decimal of that fraction you can simply divide the numerator by the denominator, Example; 82/100 is same as 0.82 and 41/50 is same as 0.82.
