1. \( 78 \frac{7}{8} \), where \( 87 \) might be extra information or part of a typo.
2. Or, you might be asking for something else that combines \( 78 \), \( \frac{7}{8} \), and \( 87 \).

Please clarify your intention, but for now, I’ll proceed with the assumption that you meant \( 78 \frac{7}{8} \), which is a mixed number.

### To convert \( 78 \frac{7}{8} \) to a decimal:
