A half also is 0.5. This means 12 1/2 cents can also be written as 12 + 0.5 = 12.5 cents
Aternatively, to convert it into $,
100 cents = $1
So, 1 cent = $ 1/100
Hence 12.5 cents = $1/100 * 12.5
Answer = $0.125
Fraction:
To convert 0.125 into a fraction,
we can write it also as 125/1000
To get the lowest possible fraction, divide both numerator and denominator by 125.
Answer: 1/8
if you want to write it as a mixed fraction, multiply the denominator (which is 2 in this case) by twelve and at the product to the numerator (which is 1 in this case). If you want to write it as a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator, the answer will be 0.5. Now put the 12 on the left side of the decimal point. So it is 12.5
