When comparing fractions and decimals/fractions and percentages/decimals and percentages, it's always good to convert them to have the same type on either side. However, you don't really need to with this problem.
Here's a trick: the larger the denominator is in a fraction, the smaller the value of the fraction is. If the fraction on the left were 5/10, then we know that it would be equal to 0.5 (you can convert either one). Now, since the denominator of the fraction is one <em>greater than</em> 10, we know that the fraction's value is just a little bit <em>less than</em> 5/10. This makes the fraction less than 0.5.
I hope it made sense. Brainliest would be cool but no worries.
