Question

when u divide 3/8 how do u do that

Answer 1

count 3 3 times lol

Answer 2

As a fraction?

Answer 3

Oh

Answer 4

You see how many times 3 can go into 8

Answer 5

do u gys like pokmon

Answer 6

3 doesn't go into 8.

Answer 7

The answer is 0.375

Answer 8

But there should be a lesson on how to do that.

Answer 9

You have to set it up and divide until you end up with a remainder.

Answer 10

One way to think about this problem would be to notice that 3/8 is exactly in the middle of 2/8 and 4/8. Well, 2/8 is also the same as 1/4 or 0.25. And 4/8 is the same as 1/2 or 0.5. And the number that's exactly in the middle of 0.25 and 0.5 is 0.375, just like Zeus said.

Another way to think about the problem is that you're finding the number that multiplies by 8 to equal 3. If you try 0.375*8, you do get 3.

To solve this for yourself, you might want to try using long division. That's the most reliable way of solving division problems if you don't have a calculator and can't see the answer right away

Answer 11

For reference, here's what the process of 3/8 might look like written out in long division:

Answer 12

what is the answer to this I need help with this.

Answer 13

So, breaking that down a little bit:
8 is bigger than 3, so 8 goes into 3 zero times. 8*0 is 0, so we subtract 0 from 3 and get 3. Then we move to the next decimal place, so we add a zero to the 3 from the subtraction.
Now, 8 goes into 30 three times. 8*3 is 24, subtracted from 30 gives us 6. Next decimal place, add a 0 behind the 6.
Same thing again, 8 goes into 60 eight times. 8*7 is 56, subtracted from 60 gives us 4. Add a 0 behind the 4.
Lastly, 8 goes into 40 exactly five times. 8*5 is 40, subtracted from 40 gives us 0. So, we have an even division with no remainder. And the final answer, as we've seen, is 0.375
That's long division, folks :)
