The top 1/8 of the runners advance to the finals for the track and field competition. what is the decimal value of the number? show your work. plz me ill mark brainliest

To find the decimal form, you have to manually divide 1 by 8. Since 8 is greater than 1, the quotient would then start with 0., then you add a 0 next to 1, to make it 10. This time, divide 10 by 8. The nearest answer would be 1, because 1 *8 = 8. Subtracting this from 10, you get 2. Add another 0 to 2, to make it 20. Do the cycle all over again. The complete solution is as follows:
          0.125
       
   8 |   10
         - 8
       
           20
         -16
         
            40
          - 40
       
            0

Hence, the decimal form of 1/8 is 0.125.
