0.375 = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
First, rewrite the decimal into a fraction and put 1 in the denominator.
0.375 = [tex]\frac{0.375}{1}[/tex]
Next, you want to multiply to remove 3 decimal places. You will multiply both the top number and the bottom number by 1,000.
[tex]\frac{0.375}{1}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1000}{1000}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{375}{1000}[/tex]
Lastly, Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 375 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 125.
[tex]\frac{375}{1000}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{125}{125}[/tex] ≈ [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, 0.375 = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
