Answer:
The correct answer is B. 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's find the equivalent of 12 1/2% as a fraction
12 1/2% = 12 + 0,5 = 12,5%
12,5 % = (0.125 * 100)/100
12.5% = 12.5/100
12.5% = 12.5 * 10/100 * 10 (Multiplying by 10 for getting an integer number in the numerator)
12.5% = 125/1,000
12.5% = (125/125)/(1,000/125) (Dividing by 125 in the numerator and in the denominator)
12.5% = 1/8
The correct answer is B. 1/8
Answer:
Option (B)
[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Explanation:
Given the % is [tex]12 \frac{1}{2}%[/tex]
12 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(12 \times 2)+1}{2}=\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{25}{2}[/tex]%=[tex]\frac{25}{2}\times \frac{1}{100} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{25}{2} \times \frac{1}{100}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, Option (B) is correct
