express 12.5% as a reduced common fraction...

do you have to change the precent into a number?
 
12.5/100

reduce the fraction to simplest form.

To make it easier, you could write your fraction as 125/1000 and use prime factorization to cut the fraction down to simplest form. (until either the denominator or numerator, is a prime)
 
ok it is 1/8... thank you I didn't realize 12.5 went into 100 im not use to decimals
