What is greater 0.8 or 7 over 8?

Answer 1

7 over 8 would be greater because if you change 7/8 into a decimal, it will become 0.875, which is greater than 0.8.

Answer 2

0.8 & 7/8

Two methods

#1 Convert all to decimals

#2 ; convert all to fractions.

Method '1'

7/8 = 0.875

Hence 0.8 & 0.875

Bring both to the same number of decimal places.

0.800 & 0.875

Drop the prefix zero and the decimal point ; hence 800 & 875

Clearly 875 > 800 Hence it follows that 0.875 > 0.8 ==> 7/8 > 0.8

Method '2'

0.8 = 8/10 = 4/5 & 7/8

Bring both denominators to a common factor, in this case '40' as both '5' & '8' are factors of '40'.

The bring the numerators to the equivalent value

Hence

4/5 = 32/40

7/8 = 35/40

Compare the numerators ; clearly 35> 32

Hence it follows 7/8 > 4/5 ==> 7/8 > 0.8

Answer 3

To compare 0.8 and 7/8, we need to convert 0.8 to a fraction. 0.8 is equivalent to 8/10 or 4/5 when simplified. Comparing 4/5 and 7/8, we need to find a common denominator. Multiplying 4/5 by 2/2 gives us 8/10, which is equivalent to 7/8. Therefore, 7/8 is greater than 0.8.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, okay, so 7 over 8 is the same as 0.875 because 7 divided by 8 is 0.875. So, technically, 0.8 is less than 7 over 8 because 0.8 is 0.8 and 0.875 is greater than 0.8. Math, man, it's wild.
