Answer 2

Answer:

Hence the number in decimal is:

0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

The top 1/8 of the runners advance to the finals for the track and field competition.

We are asked to find the decimal value of the number i.e. we have to represent 1/8 in the decimal value.

on dividing the number 1 ( which is in numerator) by 8 ( which is in denominator) we obtain:

$\dfrac{1}{8}=0.125$

Hence the number in decimal is:

0.125
