There are many equivalent fractions to#7/8#;
here are a few:#14/16, 21/24, 49/56, (-28)/(-32)#
Explanation:
#7/8#is the simplest of the equivalent fractions.
Did you (perhaps) intend to ask for the equivalent decimal fraction of#7/8#
In this case#7/8=(7xx125)/(8xx125)=875/1000=0.875#

It can be anything
Explanation:
You can find many equivalent fractions for a number.
#7/8#is 7 divided by 8, which equals 0.875.
So an equivalent fraction is another fraction that also equals 0.875.
To find this fraction, just take any number and multiply both the numerator and denominator by this number.
#(7times2)/(8 times2)#equals#14/16#because it too equals 0.875.
You can do this with numbers with decimals as well.
I randomly chose 4.1, but whatever you chose is fine.
#(7times4.1)/(8times4.1)#equals#28.7/32.8#which when
you divide it you get 0.875!

To find an equivalent fraction to 78, or to any other fraction, you just need to multiply (or divide, if the fraction is not yet reduced), both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by any non-zero natural number. For example:
By multiplying the original fraction by 2, we get:
7 × 2 8 × 2 = 1416

How to find equivalent fractions?
Two fractions are equivalent when they are both equal when written in lowest terms. The fraction 1416 is equal to 78 when reduced to lowest terms. To find equivalent fractions, you just need to multiply the numerator and denominator of that reduced fraction (78) by the same natural number, ie, multiply by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ...
Important: 78 looks like a fraction, but it is actually an improper fraction.
- 1416 is equivalent to 78 because 7 × 28 × 2 = 1416
- 2124 is equivalent to 78 because 7 × 38 × 3 = 2124
- 2832 is equivalent to 78 because 7 × 48 × 4 = 2832
- 3540 is equivalent to 78 because 7 × 58 × 5 = 3540
- and so on ...
At a glance, equivalent fractions look different, but if you reduce then to the lowest terms you will get the same value showing that they are equivalent. If a given fraction is not reduced to lowest terms, you can find other equivalent fractions by dividing both numerator and denominator by the same number.
What is an equivalent fraction? How to know if two fractions are equivalent?
Finding equivalent fractions can be ease if you use this rule:
Equivalent fractions definition: two fractions ab and cd are equivalent only if the product (multiplication) of the numerator (a) of the first fraction and the denominator (d) of the other fraction is equal to the product of the denominator (b) of the first fraction and the numerator (c) of the other fraction.
In other words, if you cross-multiply (ab and cd) the equality will remain, i.e, a.d = b.c. So, here are some examples:
- 1416 is equivalent to 78 because 14 × 8 = 16 × 7 = 112
- 2124 is equivalent to 78 because 21 × 8 = 24 × 7 = 168
- 2832 is equivalent to 78 because 28 × 8 = 32 × 7 = 224
