Answer:
1/8
Explanation:
First, we need to convert the percentage to a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left. So, 12.5% = 0.125. We do this to get an actual number rather than a percentage.
Next, we can convert our decimal to a fraction by determining what place the last digit is in. This number in particular has its last digit in the thousandths place. So, 0.125 = 125/1000
Finally, we can take our fraction and find the HCF between 125 and 1000. We do this to eliminate a large number that can be condensed. So, 125/1000 = 1/8.
