9 /11 ≤ x ≤ 9/10

 

90 / 110  ≤ x ≤  99 / 110

 

 Possible  fractions

90  /110  , 91/110 , 92  /110  , 94 /110  , 95  / 110   , 96 /110   , 97/110 , 98/110 , 99/ 110

 

95  / 110  =     19  /  22     has the smallest denominator

How about 5/6  = 0.83333...   ?

( 9/11 = 0.81818...  ,  9/10 = 0.90000... )
