Divide the fraction then put the whole number at the front of the decimal.
To write a percent as a decimal, divide the number by 100. So, divide 50 by 100. The answer is .50.

Divide the number by 10: that is equivalent to moving the decimal point one place to the left.
To divide by a decimal, make the divisor a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right; the dividend must also be changed by moving its decimal point the same number of digits to the right. So to divide 0.5 by 0.57, make the divisor 0.57 into 57 by moving the decimal point two digits to the right, then also move the decimal point of the dividend (0.5) two places to the right to give 50. Thus: 0.5 / 0.57 = 50 / 57 ~= 0.88
Convert the mixed number to a decimal and proceed.
