ANSWER QUICK PLZ!

Harriet used the work below to determine the percent equivalent to mc012-1.jpg.

Step 1: 1/8= ?/100
Step 2: 8 divided by 100=0.08
Step 3: 0.08 times 1=0.08
Step 4: 0.08%

What was Harriet’s error?
A.In Step 1, she set up the proportions incorrectly.
B.In Step 2, she divided 8 by 100 instead of 100 by 8, so she cannot multiply the C.numerator by the factor.

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the step 1

( 1/8 = x/100 )

In the step

We should multiply by 100 on both sides which gives

100/8 = x

So we have to divide 100 by 8 instead of 8 divide by 100

Thus

There is mistake in step 2 Therefore Option B is correct .

And complete solution given as

    1/8 = x/100

100/8 = 100x/100

       x = 100/8

       x = 12.5

Note

Since picture of question is uploaded correctly so I choice the answer from last three option.May be some error also present in the setting of proportionality.But my believe is that option B is correct answer because we have to choice one option
