To find out how many 1/8s are in 3, you need to divide 3 by 1/8.
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So, we can rewrite the problem as 3 multiplied by the reciprocal of 1/8, which is 8/1.
To multiply whole numbers, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) and then multiply the denominators (bottom numbers). So, multiplying 3 and 8 gives us 24, and multiplying 1 and 1 gives us 1.
Putting it all together, we have:
3 × 8/1 = 24/1 = 24
Therefore, there are 24 1/8s in 3.
