Question

Write the fraction 1/8 as a percent rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent where necessary

Answer 1

first using a calculator, compute like this:

`(1)/(8)=0,125`
In order to get the percentage, multiply by 100 like this:

`0.125*100=12.5\%`

Answer 2

To determine the answer to this you would divide the numerator by the denominator in an equation. The answer to that equation is 0.125. When converting a decimal to a percentage, you shift the decimal point over two places. Thus the percentage is 12.5% and it is unnecessary to round the result to the nearest hundredth of a percent. The answer is 12.5%.
