When we speak about percent, we have set the whole to 100 [%]
You have 3/8 so the whole will be 8/8=100 [%], but you only have 3/8 of the whole, so in order to find that, you multiply the whole (100[%]) with 3/8 and get
(3/8)*100 [%] =300/8 [%]=37½ [%]

You divide 3 into 8 and get .375, then you move the decimal over to the right 2 times to change it into a percent, and your final answer is 37.5%
