To find the answer to this question, you need to calculate the percent representation of the fraction 3/8. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Convert the fraction to a decimal.
To do this divide the numerator (3 in this case) by the denominator (8): 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375
Step 2: Convert the decimal to a percentage.
Multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percentage value: 0.375 × 100 = 37.5
So, the percentage representation of 3/8 is 37.5%.
However, none of the options provided match the correct answer. The closest option is 38% (option b), which is the rounded value of 37.5%. Therefore, the closest answer would be b. 38, although it is not exactly accurate.
