Question

What is 1/8 converted to percent

Answer 1

it is 12.5 percent you divide 100 by 8 and you get 12.5 percent

Answer 2

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to write
`(1)/(8)` as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to
`(1)/(8)` that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

`(1)/(8)` =
`(n)/(100)`

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

8n = 100

÷8 ÷8 ← divide by 8 on both sides

n = 12.5

Therefore,
`(1)/(8)` is equal to
`(12.5)/(100)` or 12.5%.
