In general, convert to a decimal and then multiply by 100. So 1/8 = 0.125 = 12.5%

Divide 8 into 1. Since you can't do that directly, add a decimal point and a zero. Now divide 8 into 10 (but don't lose the decimal point). So you get .1, with 2 left over. Now add another zero. Divide 8 into 20, you get 2, with 4 left over. Now add another zero to the 4. Divide 8 into 40 you get 5 with nothing left over. So the decimal is .125. Multiply the decimal by 100 to make it a percent, and you get 12.5%

1 / 8 = 1 / 8 x 100% = 50 /4% = 25 / 2% = 12.5%

Divide the numerator by the denominator and then move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right to make it a percent
1/8 = 0.125
Move the point = 12.5%
