Answer 2

Answer:   $9\times \frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Whole number : A natural number ( included 0 ) is called a whole number,

A unit fraction:  A fraction having the numerator 1 is called a unit fraction.

Here the given expression,

$3\times \frac{3}{8}$

$=\frac{3}{1}\times \frac{3}{8}$

$=\frac{3\times 3}{1\times 8}$

$=\frac{9}{8}$

$=9\times \frac{1}{8}$

Which is the required expression that shows the product of a whole number (9) and a unit fraction (1/8).

⇒ $3\times \frac{3}{8}=9\times \frac{1}{8}$
