What is 3 8/15 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 3 8/15 as a decimal is

3.53

≈ 3.53 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 15 = 3 × 5 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 3 — it repeats forever

3 8/15: whole part, then 8 ÷ 15

Whole part 3 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

remainder	×10	= digit × 15 + new remainder	digit
8	80	5 × 15 + 5	5
5	50	3 × 15 + 5	3

Remainder 5 repeats from the 2nd digit on → 0.53.

3 + 0.53 = 3.53
