Answer 2

The best way to do this, is to change the decimal into a percentage - which in a way is a fraction because it is always out of 100.

So, to change the decimal into a percentage, all you need to do is multiply by 100:

0.125 x 100 = 12.5%

As already stated, a percentage is always out of 100, so you know that 12.5(%) is out of 100:

12.5/100

This can then be simplified, because 12.5 is a multiple of 100:

You divide the nominator (top number=12.5) and the denominator (bottom number=100) by 12.5, which gives you your answer of:

1/8

Answer 3

0.0125 = 125/10,000

divide by 25 makes 5/400

divide by 5 makes 1/80

Check: on a calculator 1 divided by 80 = 0.0125
