##-125/1000## divided by ##5## gives us ##-25/200##. Divide by ##5## again and we have ##-5/40##. Once more, and we arrive at ##-1/8##, which cannot be simplified further.
The next aspect of the aspect of the question is to change ##-.125## into a percentage. Well, the conversion for that is quite simple. Take the value and multiply it by ##100##. That moves the decimal point up two units, and gives you a percentage. For us, ##-.125## becomes ##-12.5%##.
