Answer:

0.125 and 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100 to move 2 decimal places to the left.

12.50% / 100 = 0.125

To convert a percentage into a fraction, rewrite the decimal number you got and put it over 1. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000 to move 3 decimal places to the right and get your fraction.

$\frac{0.125}{1}$ · $\frac{1000}{1000}$ = 125/1000

Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 125, to get your simplified fraction.

125/125 = 1

1000/125 = 8

125/1000 = 1/8

Tell whether x and y show direct variation. x + y = 6

Over [174]

<h3>Answer: Not direct variation</h3>

The reason why is because it can't be written in the form y = kx

If we solved the given equation for y, we get y = -x+6. It has a y intercept of 6, but it should be zero if we wanted a direct variation equation.
