Question #43c65

Answer 1

`87.5%`

Explanation:

I presume you mean what is `7/8` as a percent.

In that case, to convert a fraction into a percent we can first divide the fraction and multiply that by `100%`.

Therefore,

`7/8=0.875`

Multiply this by `100%`

`0.875times100%=87.5%`

Answer 2

`7/8 = 87.5%`

Explanation:

A percent is a value given out of `100`

Decimals, fractions and percents are all different ways of giving the same value:

Convert `7/8` to a decimal.

To do so the denominator has to be a power of `10`

`8` does not divide into `100`, but it does divide into `1000`, so let's start there.

`7/8 xx125/125 = 875/1000 = 0.875" "larr` use either to get the `%`

Using `875/1000` gives us `875/1000 div 10/10 = 87.5/100 =87.5%`

OR

`0color(red)(.87)5 = (color(red)(87).5)/100 = color(red)(87).5%`

The first two decimal places represent hundredths, which give a `%`
