Answer:


(3)/(8) or 0.375

Explanation:

To find 1/8 of 3, all you need to do is multiply 3 by 1/8.

3 can be rewritten as
(3)/(1)


(3)/(1) x
(1)/(8) =

Multiply the numerators (the numbers on the top) first.

3 x 1 = 3

Now multiply the numbers in the denominator (the numbers on the bottom) second.

1 x 8 = 8


(3)/(1) x
(1)/(8) =
\frac{3}8}


(3)/(8) is our final answer. As a decimal, this number is 0.375.
