#### Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",

Therefore 0.8% can be written as $\frac{0.8}{100}$.

We can now multiply by a form of $1$ to eliminate the decimal in the numerator:

$\frac{10}{10} \times \frac{0.8}{100} \implies \left(10 \times 0.8\right) \left(10 \times 100\right) \implies \frac{8}{1000}$

We can reduce the fraction as:

$\frac{8 \times 1}{8 \times 125} \implies \frac{\textcolor{red}{8} \times 1}{\textcolor{red}{8} \times 125} \implies \frac{1}{125}$
