Question

87.5%=7/8 how plz give me explain​

Answer 1

% sign means per 100

so 87.5%=87.5/100

=875/1000

simplify it and get 7/8

Answer 2

look, any percentage is actually a fraction with denominator as 100.

eg- 5%= 5/100.

Thus,

87.5%= 87.5/100

We can multiply the denominator by 10 and remove the decimal in the numerator.

Therefore,

87.5/100 = 875/1000.

Now 875/1000 = 125×7/125×8

Cancel out 125 from the numerator and denominator.

Therefore answer = 7/8
