Provide an appropriate response.Explain how you would convert  to decimal notation.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Possible answer: Use long division. Add a decimal point to the right of the dividend, 3, and add zeros to the right of the decimal point, as needed. Place a decimal point directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Find the number of tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on, until the remainder is 0.

  = 3 ÷ 8 =
  2 4
 6 0
 5 6  
 4 0
 4 0
 0
 = 0.375
