<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A mixed number includes both a whole number and a fraction. The fraction part has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 3 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>
