It can be anything

Explanation:

You can find many equivalent fractions for a number.

#7/8# is 7 divided by 8, which equals 0.875.

So an equivalent fraction is another fraction that also equals 0.875.
To find this fraction, just take any number and multiply both the numerator and denominator by this number.

#(7times2)/(8 times2)# equals #14/16# because it too equals 0.875.

You can do this with numbers with decimals as well.
I randomly chose 4.1, but whatever you chose is fine.

#(7times4.1)/(8times4.1)# equals #28.7/32.8# which when
you divide it you get 0.875!
