Question

7/8 as a decimal is ----

Explanation:

Step1: Divide 7 by 8

To convert the fraction $\frac{7}{8}$ to a decimal, we perform the division operation \(7 \div 8\).

Step2: Perform the division

We know that \(8\times0.8 = 6.4\), and \(7 - 6.4 = 0.6\). Then we bring down a zero (making it 6.0) and divide by 8: \(6.0\div8 = 0.75\). Wait, actually, a more straightforward way is to do the long division: \(7\div8 = 0.875\) because \(8\times0.875 = 7\).

Answer:

\(0.875\)
