(a) \[\frac{1}{8}\]                                             (b) \[\frac{5}{4}\]                                             (c) \[\frac{3}{40}\]                                           (d) \[\frac{2}{7}\]                                          

Answer:

                (a) \[\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{8}\times 100%=\frac{25}{2}%\]or = 12.5%                 (b) \[\frac{5}{4}=\frac{5}{4}\times 100%=125%\]                 (c) \[\frac{3}{40}=\frac{3}{40}\times 100%=\frac{15}{2}%\]or = 7.5%                  (d) \[\frac{2}{7}=\frac{2}{7}\times 100%=\frac{200}{7}%\]or \[=28\frac{4}{7}%\]
