<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: the 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 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 need to use the decimal method. Add a decimal point in the quotient and make 3 as 30.</p>

11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 30 by 8. The nearest multiple of 8 is 24 (8 × 3 = 24), so we write 3 in the quotient place and subtract 24 from 30, giving the remainder 6.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 30 by 8. The nearest multiple of 8 is 24 (8 × 3 = 24), so we write 3 in the quotient place and subtract 24 from 30, giving the remainder 6.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 60. Divide 60 by 8, which gives 7 times as 56. Write 7 in the quotient and subtract 56 from 60, leaving a remainder of 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 60. Divide 60 by 8, which gives 7 times as 56. Write 7 in the quotient and subtract 56 from 60, leaving a remainder of 4.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 40. Divide 40 by 8, which gives 5 times as 40. Write 5 in the quotient. The remainder becomes 0, and the division ends here. Thus, 3/8 in decimal is 0.375.</p>
