Sure, let's solve the problem step-by-step.
You are asked to multiply [tex]\( \frac{1}{8} \)[/tex] by 1000.
1. Understand the Fraction: The fraction [tex]\( \frac{1}{8} \)[/tex] represents one part out of eight equal parts.
2. Set Up the Multiplication: We need to find the product of [tex]\( \frac{1}{8} \)[/tex] and 1000.
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{8} \times 1000
\][/tex]
3. Perform the Multiplication: To do this multiplication, you can think of it as dividing 1000 by 8.
[tex]\[
1000 \div 8
\][/tex]
4. Divide 1000 by 8:
[tex]\[
1000 \div 8 = 125
\][/tex]
Thus, the product of [tex]\( \frac{1}{8} \times 1000 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{125}
\][/tex]
So the answer is 125.
