1/8 = 12.5%
The fraction 1/8, or 12.5%, can show up in everyday situations such as sharing a pizza, dividing a group into equal parts, or measuring ingredients. For example, one person receiving one slice from a pizza cut into eight equal slices gets one-eighth of the pizza.
To picture 1/8 quickly, imagine a whole divided into eight equal sections and shade just one of them. It is a little more than one-tenth, so you can estimate it as about 10% when making a quick judgment.
A common mistake is thinking that 1/8 is the same as 1/不能? Actually, 1/8 is smaller than 1/6 because dividing something into more equal parts makes each part smaller. It can also be confused with 8%, but 12.5% is noticeably larger.
