Which decimal is equal to -7/8 on the number line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: -0.875

The governing concept is converting a rational number from fractional form to decimal form while preserving its sign. Dividing 7 by 8 gives 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875; equivalently, 7/8 can be written as 875/1000. Since the original fraction is negative, -7/8 = -0.875. Therefore option A is correct. Option B changes the order of the digits and has a different value. Option C has the correct magnitude but loses the negative sign, so it represents positive 7/8 and lies to the right of zero. Option D is also negative but its magnitude is 1.125, which is not equal to 0.875. Exact fraction-to-decimal conversion confirms the answer.
