What is 3 2/8 as a decimal?
Answer
Fraction 3 2/8 as a decimal is
3.25
Exact, terminating: 2/8 = 1/4 · denominator 4 = 2 × 2 has only 2s and 5s · 2 decimal places
3 2/8: whole part, then 2 ÷ 8
Whole part 3 stays in front; divide the fraction part:
| remainder | ×10 | = digit × 8 + new remainder | digit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | 2 × 8 + 4 | 2 |
| 4 | 40 | 5 × 8 + 0 | 5 |
The remainder reaches 0 after 2 steps → 0.25 ends.
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
