#1/1=1#

#1/2=0.5#

#1/4=0.25#

#1/8=0.125#

#(1xx7)/8=0.125xx7#

#color(magenta)(7/8=0.875#

Percentage is upon hundred..... so we need denominator as #100#

#100xx1=100#

#50xx2=100#

#33.33xx3=100#

#25xx4=100#

#20xx5=100#

#16.66xx6=100#

#14.28xx7=100#

#color(red)(12.5xx8=100#

Multiply both sides by 12.5

#(7xx12.5)/(8xx12.5)=(87.5)/100#

#color(magenta)(7/8=87.5%#
