To convert a fraction like 7/8 into a percentage without a calculator, you can follow these steps:
1. Understand that to turn a fraction into a percentage, you multiply the fraction by 100.
2. Rewrite the fraction $\(\frac{7 }{ 8}\)$ as $\(\frac{(7 \times 100) }{ 8}\)$.
3. Multiply the numerator: $\(7 \times 100=700\)$.
4. Divide the result by the denominator: $\(700 \div 8=87.5\)$.
5. Add the percent sign (\%) to get $\(87.5 \%\)$.
So, $\(\frac{7 }{ 8}\)$ expressed as a percentage is $87.5 \%$.
