#8/1000=0.8%#

Explanation:

A percentage is something out of a hundred. In this case, we can get the denominator to be #100# if we divide both the numerator and denominator by #10#:

#8/1000=(8 \/ 10)/(1000 \/ 10)=0.8/100#

Since the denominator is #100#, we have our percentage, which means that #8 \/ 1000# is equal to #0.8%#
