Answer 1

Fraction:`22/25`
Decimal:`0.88`

`44:50=44/50`. We can simplify this:
`44/50-: 2/2=22/25`

Now we just need to find the decimal and percentage. `44/50*2/2=88/100`, which is the same as `88%` and `0.88`

Answer 2

`22/25 = 44/50 =88/100 = 0.88 = 88%`

Explanation:

Decimals are based on fractions which have a denominator as a power of 10.

Percentages are based on fractions which have a denominator of 100.

To write `44/50` in its simplest form `44/50 (div2)/(div2) = 22/25`

To write it as a decimal and percentage make the denominator 100.

`44/50 xx2/2 = 88/100 = 88%`

`88/100 = 0.88`
