Answer:
[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] or 0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
To find 1/8 of 3, all you need to do is multiply 3 by 1/8.
3 can be rewritten as [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] =
Multiply the numerators (the numbers on the top) first.
3 x 1 = 3
Now multiply the numbers in the denominator (the numbers on the bottom) second.
1 x 8 = 8
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}8}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] is our final answer. As a decimal, this number is 0.375.
