b) As a decimal

Answer 1

Answer: The answers are (a)1/8th (b) 0.125 (c) 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

How I drew this conclusion is, you have 8 letters in RECORDER so its 8/64 the same spot for every letter which simplifies to 1/8th. Now for the decimal divide 8 into 64 to get 0.125 decimal form. Lastly, for the percent 8 * 100 = 0.125 then 0.125 * 100 gets you 12.5%. Hope this helps you understand good luck.
