Question #71533

Answer 1

0.875

Explanation:

To write a fraction in decimal form manually:

1. We first need to find a number if we multiply the denominator by we get 1,10,100,1000,10000, or any number 1 followed by zeros.
2. We multiply both denominator and numerator by this number.
3. We write the number in the numerator only, and we move the decimal place to the right place (1 decimal place for every zero in denominator).

for `7/8`,

1. `8*125=1000`
2. `(7(125))/(8(125))`
   `875/1,000`
3. 0.875 (decimal place has been moved 3 places to the right, since 1,000 has 3 zeros)

`rarr 7/8=0.875`
