<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 (the number on the top) here, 3 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. A decimal is a way to represent a 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 those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

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

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 3 by 8. Since 3 is smaller than 8, we add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend, making it 30.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 30 by 8, which gives 3 with a remainder of 6. Place 3 in the quotient after the decimal point.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 30 by 8, which gives 3 with a remainder of 6. Place 3 in the quotient after the decimal point.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 60. Divide 60 by 8, which gives 7 with a remainder of 4. Add 7 to the quotient.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 60. Divide 60 by 8, which gives 7 with a remainder of 4. Add 7 to the quotient.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 40. Divide 40 by 8, which gives 5 with no remainder. Add 5 to the quotient.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 40. Divide 40 by 8, which gives 5 with no remainder. Add 5 to the quotient.</p>
14
<p><strong>Thus, the decimal for 3/8 is 0.375, making the entire number 46.375.</strong></p>
