The first this you must do is pconvert it to its decimal equivalent:

62 1/2% = 62.5% = 0.625

Then, express that as a fraction and reduce it:

625 / 1000 (divide numerator and denominator by the obvious 25)

25 / 40 (divide again by 5)

5/8

Also, now you know that 5/8 = 0.625!

Hope this helps! :)
