7/8 is a fraction less than one.
If you multiply by a fraction less than one the result is smaller than the original.
For example a half dollar is less than a dollar.

So if I were to figure out the time she was babysitting would I multiply 7/8 and 4?
Damon
yes
and 7/8 * 4 = 7/2 = 3.5
and 7/8 * 4 = 7/2 = 3.5
