In order to change 1/8 to decimal form we need to divide 1 by 8. We know that since 1 is smaller than 8 we are going to end up with a number less than 1.
We can divide 1/8 with a calculator or do it longhand. In this video I did the division longhand (but checked my answer with a calculator). When we divide 1 by 8, we get 0.125.
So: 1/8 = 0.125
0.125 is less than 1 so that is a good way to check if our answer is reasonable.
Note that 1/8 and 0.125 represent the same quantity, they are just written in different formats. 1/8 is a fraction and 0.125 is in decimal form.
