Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number). In this case, the fraction is 3/8.

So, you would divide 3 by 8:

3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Therefore, 3/8 as a decimal is 0.375, not 0.38.

Remember that when dividing, you may encounter a recurring decimal or a decimal with many decimal places. In this case, the division results in a terminating decimal, which means it ends after a certain number of decimal places.
