Convert 3/8 to its decimal equivalent.
Remember, all fractions are division problems...the numerator (top) is divided by the denominator (the bottom)
If you have a calculator, just divide 3 by 8...enter the 3, push the divide key then enter the 8 followed by the = key (or the ENTER key on some calculators).
The diplay window will show .375 (This is a terminating decimal)
Otherwise, you will have to use long division.
