Minh is covering a necklace box with gift wrap. The necklace box is
15 centimeters long, 8 centimeters wide, and 2 centimeters high. What is

What's the Answer
To convert 1/8 to a decimal, you simply divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (8).
1 ÷ 8 = 0.125
So, 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125.
As for the type of decimal, 0.125 is a terminating decimal. A terminating decimal is a decimal number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. In this case, there are only three digits after the decimal point (125), so it is a terminating decimal.
