1. A fraction has two parts: a numerator and a denominator. The numerator is the dividend (the number that is to be divided by the divisor), and the denominator is the divisor (the number that is divided into the dividend).
2. Given the information above, we know that 3 is the numerator, and 8 is the denominator. This means 3 ÷ 8 = 3/8.
