To write 4 7/8 as a percent, we need to convert it to an improper fraction first. To do this, we multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator (8) and add the numerator (7):
4 * 8 + 7 = 32 + 7 = 39
Now we have the improper fraction 39/8. To convert this to a decimal, we divide the numerator (39) by the denominator (8):
39 ÷ 8 = 4.875
Finally, to write it as a percent, we multiply the decimal by 100:
4.875 * 100 = 487.5
Therefore, 4 7/8 can be written as 487.5%.
