Question

you just divided 3 by 8 on the algorithm. choose the equivalent decimal. 0.375 8 longdiv 3.000 -2.4↓ .60 -.56↓ .040 -0 4 0 .000 0.38 0.375

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the division

We performed \(3\div8\) using long division. The long division steps show that after dividing, we get a quotient of \(0.375\) (since the remainder becomes \(0\) and the decimal terminates).

Step2: Match with options

Looking at the options, \(0.375\) is the exact decimal equivalent of \(3\div8\). The option \(0.38\) is a rounded value, and the third option (with the bar) is incorrect as there's no repeating decimal here (the division terminates).

Answer:

0.375 (the first or the third option, both labeled 0.375)
