Firstly make an improper fraction:
Multiply #7 xx 8 = 56#.
Now, #56 + 1 = 57#

To give #57/8#

And divide #57 " by " 8#

#=7.125#

#=7125/1000 = 712.5/100 = 712.5%#.

We can write #7 1/8# as #712.5%#

Now any fraction #a/b# can be written as percentage as #a/bxx100%#

Hence this is #57/8=57/8xx100%=5700/8%=712.5%#
