12.5% = .125 = 1/8
easy way to figure out is 100% / 12.5% = 8, so 12.5% is 1/8

Right off the bat, a percent means 'divided by 100':
12.5% = 12.5/100
Multiply this by 10/10 to move the decimal:
12.5/100*(10/10) = 125/1000
Both denominator and numerator are divisible by 125:
125/1000 = 1/8

12.5% as a ratio is 12.5/100 or 25/200 or simply 1/8

12.5:100 or 25:200 or 1:8 (better)
It's just like a fraction, and 12.5% is 12.5 over 100.

12.5% = 0.125 (decimal)
= 125/1000
= (25*5)/(25*40)
The two 25's cancel each other out
= 5/40
= (5*1)/(5*40)
The 5's cancel each other out
which gives 1/8.
The required ratio is 1:8

12.5% is 1/8.
12.5/100 : multiply both by 2
25/200 : divide both by 5
5/40 : divide both by 5
1/8
