Do long division: put a decimal point after the 7 and add some zeros: 8 goes into 7 zero times. Put a decimal point after the zero up in the answer, and just continue with long division. 7/8 is a rational number (a fraction), so you know the division will end. The Remainder will be zero.
So 7 8 → 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875 exactly. '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. Determine the percentage equivalent of 7 8. Using the shortcut method. Multiply the decimal by 100. 0.875 × 100 = 87.5 This is the 87.5 from 87.5 100. Some people say you should write this as: 0.875 × 100% = 87.5% ← This is wrong. I have been looking for this answer ...
Help. Hundredth is the reciprocal of 100; 1/100; 0.01 In other words, you can interpret hundredth as nearest 2 decimal place. 7/8=0.875=0.88 (2.d.p)
1.875, 187.5% First of all, convert the mixed number 1 7/8 to the standard form of the fraction, so 15/8. To convert it to decimal just divide 15 by 8 which is 1.875 The percentage is the number multiplied by 100, 1.875 x 100= 187.5%.
Changing fractions to a decimal you just have to divide the Quotient by the Divisor. For example; 2 5 → Fraction. Now dividing 2 by 5; 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4 → Decimal. Changing fractions to a percentage, you just have to multiply the fraction by 100. For example; 2 5 → Fraction. 100% → Percentage.
1/1=1 1/2=0.5 1/4=0.25 1/8=0.125 (1xx7)/8=0.125xx7 color (magenta) (7/8=0.875 Percentage is upon hundred..... so we need denominator as 100 100xx1=100 50xx2=100 33.33xx3=100 25xx4=100 20xx5=100 16.66xx6=100 14.28xx7=100 color (red) (12.5xx8=100 Multiply both sides by 12.5 (7xx12.5)/ (8xx12.5)= (87.5)/100 color (magenta) (7/8=87.5%.
Explanation: You can do this by just dividing: 12 div 8 = 1.5. You could also use fractions and equivalent fractions to find the decimal. 12/8 = 1 4/8 = 1 1/2. Make the denominator into a power of 10. 1 1/2 = 1 5/10 = 1.5. Using a different denominator: 12/8 xx 125/125 = 1500/1000 = 15/10 = 1.5.
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.
There some fractions that it is advisable that you commit their decimal equivalents to memory. This is one of them. Known: 1/8=0.125 So 5/8" "=" "5xx0.125 '~~~~~ Rather than worry about the decimal when you multiply think of 0.125; consider it as 125/(color(red)(1000) or the same thing 125xx1/(color(red)(1000).
but not with denominators which are multiples of 3, 7, 11 etc. (3color (blue) (xx125))/ (8color (blue) (xx125)) = 375/1000 = 0.375. Or divide 3.0000 by 8. 3/8 = 0.375 There are 2 ways to convert fractions to decimals. Make an equivalent fraction with a power of 10 as the denominator. This can only be done with denominators such as: 2, 4, 5, 8 ...
