<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It 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, and that to the right represents the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Divide 3 by 8. Since 3 is smaller than 8, we can add a decimal point and bring down a zero, making it 30.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Divide 30 by 8. 8 goes into 30 three times (3 x 8 = 24), leaving a remainder of 6.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 60, and divide by 8 again. 8 goes into 60 seven times (7 x 8 = 56), leaving a remainder of 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 60, and divide by 8 again. 8 goes into 60 seven times (7 x 8 = 56), leaving a remainder of 4.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 40, and divide by 8. 8 goes into 40 five times (5 x 8 = 40), leaving no remainder. So, 3/8 as a decimal is 0.375. Adding this to the whole number 14 gives us 14.375.</p>
