Explanation:

We know that a foot is equal to 12 inches.

First, we write it in the form of a fraction.

8 inches of a foot = 8/12

Then we simplify the fraction.

8/12 = 2/3

After that, to write the number in percentage form, we need to multiply the fraction by 100%.

2/3 x 100% = 66.67% (Nearest hundredth)
