Answer:

35/8

step 1: turn the mixed fraction to an improper fraction =29/8

step 2: divide 29 by 8 ,it gives you 3

that and a remainder of 5 don't forget to place your decimal piont

step 3:place 0 at the back of 5 it then becomes 50 so we can easily divide 8 by 50

50 divided by 8 is 6 that gives a remainder of 2

step 3:place 0 at the back of 2 like earlier then it becomes 20

divide 20 by 8 ,this gives you 2 and a remainder of 4

step 4:place 0 at the back of 4 as done earlier , divide 40 by 8

it gives you 5 with no remainder

so your answer finally becomes 3+0.625 which is 3.625
