50% is
(50)/(100)
We have two ways to do this, pick your favor:
either by fractions:

(5)/(8) ÷
(1)/(2)
(
(50)/(100) = (1)/(2)
Multiply by the reciprocal of
(1)/(2) which is 2(flip it)


(5)/(8) × 2 =
(5)/(4) = 1.25

Or change them to decimals:

(5)/(8) = 0.625

(50)/(100) = 0.5

0.625 ÷ 0.5

0.5 I 0.625
multiply by 10 to make it easier to divide(it still gives us the same answer)
0.5 × 10 = 5
0.625 × 10 = 6.25
1.25
5 I 6.25
-5
12
-10
25
-25
0

0.625 ÷ 0.5 = 1.25
