7/8 expressed as a percentage is 87.50%. This number shows how much of a whole the fraction represents when we think in terms of 100 parts instead of 8.
The fraction 7/8 means you have seven equal pieces out of a total of eight. It is a little less than a full unit, so the percentage is close to 100 % but not quite there. Because the missing piece is only one‑eighth, the value feels almost complete.
You’ll see 7/8 and its percentage in everyday situations—like measuring ingredients in a kitchen, calculating a discount that leaves you paying 87.50 % of the price, or comparing scores on a test. Knowing both forms helps you understand the size of the part you have.
