We are going to do this in two steps.
First into a decimal.
We know that as a decimal this will be less than the # one
The way we get there is we divide 1 by 8 and will get 0.125
We know it is probably correct because the result is less than 1
Next we multiply by 100 and get 12.5%

Not quite. . . 13 percent is 13/100 or 0.13 one eighth is 12.5 over 100 which is 0.125 or twelve and a half per cent. The answer is that one eighth is 12 1/2 percent, that is half a percent less than 13 percent
It is 0.00125.
One over 8 percent (one-eighth percent) = 0.00125
1/8 = 12.5%
It would be 12.5%
