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:
$\frac{1}{8}=0,125$
In order to get the percentage, multiply by 100 like this:
$0.125\times100=12.5\%$

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%.
