8/89 as a percentage is 8.99%. This tiny fraction is just under one‑tenth of a whole, so it shows up as a low double‑digit percent.
The fraction 8/89 is already in its simplest form because 8 and 89 share no common factors besides 1. It represents a small part of a larger whole, and that part is easy to picture: imagine 89 equal pieces and taking only 8 of them.
When we write the percentage, we see that 8.99% is close to 9 %. That tiny difference can matter in some calculations, but for most everyday uses the number is effectively “about nine percent.”
In practical terms, if you had 89 items and you kept 8 of them, you would be holding roughly 8.99% of the total. It’s a handy way to understand how small a piece of something can be.
