Answer:

7/8

Explanation:

To simplify decimals is to turn them into fractions.

As we look at our benchmarks for turning decimals into fractions, we see that 4/8 = 0.5, 6/8 = 0.75, and 8/8 = 1. But we need to figure out 7/8.

We need to figure out what is between 75 and 100.

As we subtract there will be a difference of 25.

We should divide 25 in half.

25 / 2 = 0.125, then add to 0.75, 0.125 + 0.75 = 0.875.

Therefore, in simplest form, 0.875 is 7/8 and cannot be simplified to another whole number/whole number fraction.

Best of luck to you.
