Question

1. express the fraction \\(\frac{7}{8}\\) as a decimal.
2. write the decimal number 0.25 as a fraction in simplest form.

Explanation:

Question 3:

Step1: Divide 7 by 8

To convert a fraction to a decimal, we perform the division of the numerator by the denominator. So we calculate \( 7 \div 8 \).

Step2: Perform the division

\( 7\div8 = 0.875 \)

Step1: Write the decimal as a fraction

The decimal \( 0.25 \) can be written as \( \frac{25}{100} \) because the decimal is in the hundredths place (the second decimal place represents hundredths).

Step2: Simplify the fraction

To simplify \( \frac{25}{100} \), we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 25 and 100, which is 25. Then we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 25: \( \frac{25\div25}{100\div25}=\frac{1}{4} \)

Answer:

\( 0.875 \)
