So,
I like to simplify a fraction first. This is what I do when I'm in a store trying to find the unit price.

Factor.

Cross out ones.

Multiply it out.

In my head, I remember that one-eighth is equal to 0.125.
So seven-eighths is equal to 0.125 times 7.
0.125 * 7 = 0.875
Convert to percent form.
0.875 --> 87.5%
James answered 87.5% of his quiz correctly.
I actually have the decimal equivalents for eighths in my head when I'm shopping. So once I get seven-eighths, I immediately know how much that is. I can also subtract 0.125 from 1.000 to get seven-eighths.
50 miles = 1 hour
10 miles = 1/50 x 10
= 1/5 hours
= 12 minutes
It will take him 12 minutes to drive 10 miles.
The average change in the field position on each run is. -1 3/4
A/B is a reduced fraction which can be represented as a
terminating decimal if and only b is of the form 2^n5^n where m and n are non
negative integers. For example: 7/250, the terminating decimal here is 0.028 as
250 as the denominator equals to 2*5^2.
According to the above, we must know whether the denominator
have only 2-s and or 5-s as the prime factors. So,
Q = 8 = 2 ^3 = hence the denominator has only 2 prime
factors. Fraction P/Q will be termed as terminated decimal which is sufficient.
