Answer: 0.125 and 12.5%

Explanation:

To convert any fraction to decimal form, we just need to divide its numerator by the denominator.

Here, the fraction is 1/8 which means we need to perform 1 ÷ 8.

This gives the answer as 0.125. So, 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125

To get its percentage form, you simply multiply the obtained decimal value by 100:

0.125 x 100 = 12.5
