The fraction of gasoline used is:


(7)/(8)

We need to convert this fraction to decimal and to percentage to find the answer.

Converting 7/8 to decimal:

For this we have to do the division between 7 and 8:

Thus, the decimal form of 7/8 is 0.875

Converting 7/8 to percentage:

we use the result that we previously get of 7/8 as a decimal: 0.875, and to convert it to percentage we multiply it by 100:


0.875*100=87.5

7/8 to percentage is equal to 87.5%

Answer: 0.875 and 87.5%
