Question

Mrs.Newsome said that 1/8 of the faculty at long high school had attended the school as teenagers. Which decimal and percent are equivalent to 1/8

Answer 1

Decimal=0.125

Percent=12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 1/8 of the faculty at long high school had attended the school as teenagers.

Let us convert
`(1)/(8)` in decimal form by dividing 1 by 8.

`\text{ Decimal form } =(1)/(8) =0.125`

Therefore, 0.125 of the faculty at long high school attended the school as teenagers.

Now we will write
`(1)/(8)` as percentage by multiplying 0.125 by 100.

`\text{ Percentage} =(1)/(8)* 100`

`\text{ Percentage} =0.125* 100=12.5`

Therefore, 12.5% of the faculty at long high school attended the school as teenagers.
