Answer:

  a. 0.28

  b. 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We recognize 25 as a divisor of 100, a power of 10, so we can convert the fraction to one that has 100 as a denominator.

  [tex]\dfrac{7}{25}=\dfrac{7}{25}\cdot\dfrac{4}{4}=\dfrac{28}{100}=0.28[/tex]

__

b) We can convert this fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. The work is shown in the attached.

  1/8 = 0.125
