Answer: Fraction: 1/8 Percentage: 1.25% Decimal: 0.125

Explanation:

First lets find the decimal point by doing 125/1000 = 0.125

We have the decimal, now lets turn it into a percentage. 0.125 = 1.25% of the napkins are in the dispenser

Lastly lets find the fraction. All we have to do is simplify 125/1000.

Which is 1/8.
