rewrite 12 1/2 % to a decimal?

Answer 1

12 1/2 % = 12.5 % = 0.125

Answer 2

First think about what is being asked.
What part of 100 (percentage) is 12 1/2 %?

We are looking for an answer that is roughly
12 and 1/2 parts of 100. (Twelve and one half parts of 100.)

The answer is going to have a number in the tenths place and
a number in the hundredths place and since we have a fraction of a precent we will have a number in the thousandths place.

Begin the computation by changing the number 12 1/2 % (12 and a half parts of a hundred) to decimal notation.
Answer = 12.5 parts of a hundred

Now to change it to a decimal from the percentage you would divide the number 12.5 by 100.

You can adjust the decimal point left two spaces and save the longhand when dividing by 100.

If you move the decimal left two spaces to find what part per hundred (literal definition of percentage) the answer is .125
of twelve and one half hundredths.

Answer 3

To convert a percentage into a decimal, the formula is as following:
x / 100 = y
x is the percentage, while y is a decimal number.

Therefore, 12 1/2 % is 12.5 %.

12.5 / 100 = 0.125.

Therefore, 12 1/2 % or 12.5 % is equal to 0.125

Answer 4

12 1/2%=12.5/100=.125

Answer 5

Look at what percent is per (every) cent (hundred). Hence, 1 percent is one per hundred, or one out 100. Therefore, to get percent, you take the number in decimal form (12.5) and divide by 100, giving you .125%

Answer 6

12 1/2 is 25/2 and 25/2% is 25/200 equal to 0.125

Answer 7

I am assuming that you mean twelve-and-a-half-percent, and not 12 as a whole number plus one half percent. Anyways, 12 percent is written as 0.12, and the half of a percent is 0.005, so adding 12 percent plus a half percent would give you
(0.12)+(0.005)=

0.125, or simply .125

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
