How do you change 7 over 8 to a percent?

Answer 1

you have to try to find how 8 can go into either 10 or 100, but it can't so u must divide 7 by 8, u will come out with a decimal

7/8

8 divided by 7

8 goes into 70 8 times (64)

you then have 6 left so add the zero and 8 goes into 60 7 times

60-56= 4 so bring down 0 and 8 goes into 40 5 times

so decimal will be .875

move decimal point over 2 place values to the right

decimal is 87.5%
