To find the percent, first, set up the fraction as a long division problem where the 1 is placed inside the dividend and 8 is placed in the divisor:

Here, the decimal and the zero are included in the division.

Ignoring the decimal in the dividend and treating 1.0 equal to 10, we know that 8 divides into 10 one time.  Therefore, place that one on the top as shown below

Multiply that one by the divisor (8) to get eight (1 x 8 = 8) and then place that eight below the dividend as shown below

Subtract 8 from 10, which will give you 2. That 2 is placed at the bottom

To perform the division further, put in an additional zero in the dividend and another zero right beside the 2

This time, we have a 20 at the bottom. 8 can go into 20 two times so we place the two at the top of the (right next to 1) as shown

Multiply that two by 8 to get sixteen and place that sixteen at the bottom

Perform the usual subtraction to get 4

Place another zero inside the dividend and another zero right beside 4

This time 8 goes into 40 just perfectly (no remainder)

The decimal of the fraction  is 0.125.  To convert this to a percentage, move the decimal point two places to the right and then put in the '%' symbol so that 0.125 is written as 12.5%

To find the percentage representation of a fraction, we first need to write the fraction as a decimal.  Writing 1/8 as a decimal we get 0.125.  Now that we have the decimal representation, we simply multiply by 100 to get the percentage (or by moving the decimal two places to the right).  Doing this, we get 12.5%.

Since  of the bag is filled with red marbles and another  of the bag is filled with yellow marbles, the remaining  of the bag must be filled with blue marbles.

The percentage equivalent of  is 25%.

First, find the fraction of the bag that is filled with blue marbles. This can be determined by subtracting the red and yellow marbles from 1: 

This gives you , which means that  of the bag is filled with blue marbles.

The percentage equivalent of  is 10%.

0.555 is equal to , which can be reduced to  by dividing the numerator and demoninator by 5.  Note that if this was 0.5 repeating (i.e. 0.55555555.......) that the fraction would be .  

Set up a proportion:

Cross-multiply:

Isolate by dividing by 8:

Finally, simplify:

The fraction is therefore equivalent to .

The fraction represents dividing . Using a calculator or long division, this gives us 0.2857.

To convert a decimal to a percent we need to multiply the decimal by 100. Doing this results in the decimal moving two spaces to the right.

This decimal as a percent, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, is 28.6%.

To change a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. We do this by placing the numerator on the inside and doing long division. We can then change this decimal into a percent by moving the decimal place two places to the right, or multiplying the fraction by 100.

To change a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. We do this by placing the numerator on the inside and doing long division. We can then change this decimal into a percent by moving the decimal place two places to the right, or multiplying the fraction by 100.
