Question

How do you convert 3/8 into a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

Doing the division.

Explanation:

To have the decimal you have to divide 3 by 8.
`3:8=0` and remain 3. Insert the dot and add a zero
`30:8=3` and remain 6. Add a zero
`60:8=7` and remain 4. Add a zero
`40:8=5` and no remain.

Then

`3/8=0.375`
This is the decimal form.

The percentage is the decimal form multiplied for 100 with the sign `%`.
So it is

`3/8=37.5%`.
