#99/44=225%=2.25#

Explanation:

Any fraction #a/b# can be written into a percent as #a/bxx100%#

As such #99/44=99/44xx100%#

= #(cancel99^9)/(cancel44^4)xx100%# - dividing by #11#

= #9/(cancel4^1)xxcancel100^25%# - dividing by #4#

= #225%#

Further it is evident from above that #99/44=9/4#

and to convert it into decimal, we should either perform a long division or make the denominator a power of #10#. Here we see that #4xx25=100#, hence

#99/44=9/4=(9xx25)/(4xx25)=225/100=2.25#
