Answer:

Explanation:

7/8 can be expressed as 6/8 in three ways:

Cross-multiplication: Multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 7/8 by the same number such that the numerator becomes 6.

7/8 = (7 x (8/6)) / 8 = 6/6

Simplifying the fraction: Dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.

7/8 = (7 ÷ 1) / (8 ÷ 1) = 7/8

Decimal representation: Converting the fraction to a decimal and then rounding to the nearest whole number.

7/8 = 0.875 which is approximately equal to 6/8.
