Some correct answers are:
"seven eighths"; 7/8; "7 over 8"; 0.875; "the ratio of 7 to 8"; "7 out of 8"
Explanation:
7/8 literally means "7 out of 8".
When reading this aloud, we read it as "seven eighths"; this is because 8 is the denominator, the "whole", and 7 is the numerator, the "part".
Often people read fractions as "numerator over denominator"; this leads to "7 over 8."
Fraction bars also represent division. Dividing this, we would have 7 divided by 8; this comes out to 0.875.
Fractions are also another way to represent ratios. In this case, 7/8 would be the same as 7 parts to 8 wholes, or the ratio of 7 to 8.
