Answer:

12.5% as a fraction is written as 25/2

Explanation:

step 1; write the given number as the numerator and place 1 in the denominator right below the decimal point followed by the numbers of zeros vital or require according.

step in this case 12.5 has one number after the decimal number so we place 10 in the denominator and remove the decimal point. this will make it 125/10.

step 2: then , this fraction can be simplified. 125/10=(125÷5)/(10÷5) =25/2
