1. We start with the fraction:
   $$
   \frac{25}{50}
   $$

2. Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is $$25$$:
   $$
   \frac{25 \div 25}{50 \div 25} = \frac{1}{2}
   $$

3. Convert the simple fraction $$\frac{1}{2}$$ to a decimal:
   $$
   \frac{1}{2} = 0.5
   $$

4. Since the decimal $$0.5$$ is less than 1, it is written with a leading zero.

Final answer:
$$
0.5
$$
0.5
