"Hello There"
"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". So, to convert 0.008 to percent we must rewrite 0.008 in terms of "per 100" or over 100.
Multiply 0.008 by 100/100. Since 100/100 = 1, we are only multiplying by 1 and not changing the value of our number.
\(\frac{0.008}{1}\) x \(\frac{100}{100}\) = \(\frac{0.8}{100}\)
Therefore, we have shown that
0.008 = 0.8%
