Answer:7/80

Explanation:

sart with the: " 8 " portion:

Start with the: " " portion :

Note: " " ;

= 3/4 ;

= 3 ÷ 4 ; {use calculator} ;

= 0.75 .

_________________________________________________

Or; recognize, from experience, that: "3/4" = " 0.75 " .

_________________________________________________

Or: Calculate as follows:

→ " = " ;

→ Solve for the: "(?)" value:

__________________________________________________

Consider the "denominator" portions:

→ " 4 * {what value?} = 100 " ;

→ 100/4 = 100 ÷ 4 = 25 ;

→ So: " 4 * {25} = 100 ;

Now, consider the "numerator" portions:

→ " 3 * {25} = "{?}" ;

→ " 3 * {25} = " 75 " ;

__________________________________________________

Now, we can rewrite the expression;

& replace the "{?}" — with: " 75 " ; as follows:

__________________________________________________

The original expression:

→ " = " ;

Rewrite as:

→ " = " ;

_______________________________________________

Note: " " ;

= 75 / 100 = 75 ÷ 100 ;

→ Use calculator: = 0.75 ;

_______________________________________________

Or: 75 ÷ 100 = ? ;

→ Note: when dividing by "100" ; we take the original value, and move that number backward "2 (two) decimal spaces". We move "backward" because we are "dividing" (not "multiplying") ; and we move 2 (two) decimal spaces because: " 100" has 2 (two) zeros.

→ " 75 ÷ 100 = 75. ÷ 100 = .75 ;

→ Write as: " 0.75.

_______________________________________________

So: " 8 " ;

= 8 + ;

= 8 + 0.75 ;

= 8.75 .

_______________________________________________

So: " 8 % " ;

= 8.75 % ;

_________________________________________

Note that " % " ; refers to parts per hundred; or: "divided by 100" ;

_______________________________________________

→ So: " 8.75 % " ;

= 8.75 / 100 = 8.75 ÷ 100 ;

→ Use calculator; to get: " 0.0875 " .

_______________________________________________

Or: " 8.75 ÷ 100 " ; → As aforementioned, when dividing by "100" ;

we move the decimal point "backward 2 (two) spaces:

→ " 8.75 ÷ 100 = .0875 ;

→ Write as: " 0.0875 " .

_______________________________________________

Now, let us convert this value to a "fraction value" ;

→ We have: " 0.0875 ;

We look at the last consecutive non-zero digits: "875" .

→ How many decimal spaces backward from "875" ; specifically, the digit, "5" ; are there (counting backward; to the actual decimal point)?

→ 0.0875 . → The answer is: "4 (four)" ; which are: 5, 7, 8, and 0 " .

{Refer to digits in "bold font".}.

_______________________________________________

So, this value: " 0.0875 " ;

→ is equal to: " 875 " ÷ { 1 followed by 4 [four] zeros } ;

_______________________________________________

= " 875 ÷ 10000 " ;

= " 875 ÷ 10,000 " ;

_______________________________________________

Using a calculator:

" 875 ÷ 10,000 " = " " ;

______________________________________________

= " " .

______________________________________________

The answer is: " " .

______________________________________________

Hope this is helpful to you!

Best wishes to you!
