What is 1/8 as a percentage? 12.50%. The fraction one‑eighth means you have one part out of eight equal parts, and when it’s expressed as a percent it comes out to twelve and a half percent.
One‑eighth shows up in everyday life. For example, a pizza cut into eight slices gives you one slice if you take 1/8 of the whole. If a recipe calls for 1/8 cup of an ingredient, you’re using a small but precise amount.
Knowing that 1/8 equals 12.50% helps you compare sizes quickly. You can say a discount of 12.5% off a price, or that a test score of 12.5% means you got one out of eight questions right. It’s a handy way to think about parts of a whole in both fractions and percentages.
