To determine the answer, you need to convert the fraction into a percentage.
Step 1: Calculate the decimal equivalent of 7/8. Divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (8):
7 ÷ 8 = 0.875
Step 2: Convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
0.875 * 100 = 87.5%
Therefore, the answer is 87.5%, not 875%.
