What is greater 0.8 or 7 over 8?

Answer 1

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 2

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 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, what a lovely question! 7 over 8 is the same as 0.875, which is greater than 0.8. Remember, numbers come in all shapes and sizes, and each one is special in its own way. Just like happy little trees in a painting, every number has its place on the canvas of mathematics.

Answer 5

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.
