$\frac{7}{8} = 0.875$ $7/8 = 0.875$

Explanation:

You could long divide, but let's try a different approach.

Since $2$ $2$ is a factor of $10$ $10$ , we have $8 = 2 \times 2 \times 2$ $8 = 2 xx 2 xx 2$ is a factor of $1000$ $1000$ and $\frac{1000}{8} = 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125$ $1000/8 = 5 xx 5 xx 5 = 125$

Then:

$\frac{7}{8} = \frac{7 \cdot 125}{8 \cdot 125} = \frac{875}{1000} = 0.875$ $7/8 = (7*125)/(8*125) = 875/1000 = 0.875$
