Improper fraction- 386/125

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixed Number

3.088 is read as Three and eighty-eight thousandths. As a fraction we write this as 3 and 88/1000. However, 88/1000 can be simplified. The greatest common factor that will go into 88 and 1000 is 8, so I divide 8 into 88 and get 11, then I divide 8 into 1000 and get 125. Simplified my answer is 3 and 11/125.

Improper Fraction

If I have 3 and 11/125, I will change it to an improper fraction by first multiplying the whole number 3 by the denominator 125. This gives me 375, which I add to the numerator 11 and that gives me 386. I will keep my denominator so my improper fraction will be 386/125.
