Answer 2

29/50 is the same as 0.580

Explanation:

0.580 is the same as 0.58

.58=58/100

I knew to put 58 over 100

because the decimal terminates in the hundredths spot

58/100 can be reduced

58 and 100 are both even so they are both divisible by 2

58/2=29

while

100/2=50

so 58/100 is the same as saying 29/50
