I'm not quite sure what the first post was trying to say but the idea of simplifying a fraction is to bring it to its lowest numerical form so let's say you have 40/50 that can be reduced by dividing by 10 on both the top and bottom to 4/5.

It is 10/1000. This can be simplified but simplification means that you lose information about the precision of the fraction.
8.8 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Its rational equivalent is 88/10 which can be simplified. But simplification means that you lose information about the precision of the fraction.
If you're asked to simplify an expression, you need to expand all brackets if there are any, and collect all like terms. If the question is a fraction you have to give the answer in its simplest form
To convert a percentage to a fraction, put it over 100 and simplify (ensuring the numerator and denominator are whole numbers). 8.5 % = 8.5/100 = 17/200 (multiply top and bottom by 2) (No further simplification possible since hcf(17, 200) = 1.)
