0.55 means "fifty-five one hundredths". As a fraction we can therefore write this as 55/100.
We can then look to see if we can simplify this fraction by finding a positive whole number which evenly divides into both numbers (other than 1 of course!).
Here, the largest number which evenly divides into both 55 and 100 is 5. 55/5 = 11 and 100/5 = 20. Therefore we simplify this fraction to 11/20.
