he takes 7/8 per day and there are 7 days in a week so multiply 7/8 by 7/1 since 7 divided by 1 is still 7. (7/8) x (7/1) then multiply the top numbers for numerator and bottom for denominator 7 x 7 49 you get 8 x 1 8
if you need to go further you divide the 49 by 8 and get 6.125. 6.125 = 6 and 1/8 6 is the whole number and .125 out of 100 equals 8
