you turn a vulgar fraction (3/8) into a decimal fraction by dividing the denominator(bottom line) into the numerator (top line)
8 into 3 won't go , so write 0 point
now go 8 into 30 goes 3 remainder6
Write the 3 after the 0 point giving 0.3
and go 8 into 60 goes 7 remainder 4
Write the 7 after the 0.3 giving 0.37
and go 8 into 40 goes 5, with no remainder
3/8 = 0.375

0.375
Just use a calculator to divide 3 by 8.
Or divide by hand, with pencil and paper!
