The KEY here is that you're dealing with a fraction (99/100) and a decimal (1) , which are 2 different things. What you first need to do is make them the same so you can compare "apples to apples."

Now you can go 1 of 2 ways, both of which will give you the same results.

1) The whole number 1 as a fraction would be 100/100. So comparing the 2 numerators 99 and 100, you can clearly see that 100 is the larger. Therefore, 1 is larger!

2) Changing 99/100 into a decimal would give you 0.99, which is less than 1, so again 1 is larger.

99/100 = 0.99
So 1 > 99/100
