Convert fraction to a decimal 3/8

Mathematics

In order to convert a fraction into a decimal, you can do one of two ways. I'll do the manual way, first since that's probably what your teacher would prefer.

First, find something that will multiply in the denominator that will equal 10,100,1000.

In this case, it will be 1,000.

1,000 ÷ 8 = 125.

So, you will  multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 125.

3 x 1,000 = 375

8 x 125 = 1,000

Now, you have a BIG fraction of 375/1,000 but it's OKAY! Why? You're almost done.

Take your numerator of 375. Since your denominator has 3 zeros in it, you'll be moving your decimal 3 places to the right (from the imaginary decimal in front of the 3). So, we'll have 0.375.

So, your decimal of 3/8 is 0.375.

____________________________________________________

Now, for the easiest way!

You will simply divide 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Answer: The correct answer is Choice C.

Step-by-step explanation: The drama club raised 150% of their goal, which is represented by choice c.

The proper way to calculate this percentage is to calculate how much they earned over the goal. They earned $150 over a goal of $300, so you divide 150 by 300 to determine the percentage.

150/300 = .5, or 50%

So, they earned 100% (300) plus 50% (150), for a total of 150% of the goal.
