Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{8}$
$12.5 % = \frac{12.5}{100} = \frac{125}{1000}$ (since there is one digit after decimal point)
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by their HCF $125$ ,
$\frac{125 \div 125}{1000 \div 125} = \frac{1}{8}$
Therefore, $12.5$ percent can be written as $\frac{1}{8}$ as fraction.
