Final answer:

0.38 is bigger than 3/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare 3/8 and 0.38, we need to convert them to the same form. Since 0.38 is already in decimal form, we need to convert 3/8 to decimal form as well. Dividing 3 by 8 gives us 0.375.

Comparing 0.375 and 0.38, we can see that 0.38 is bigger than 0.375. So, 0.38 is bigger than 3/8.

.38 is larger than 3/8.
To come to this conclusion, I convert the fraction 3/8 into a decimal.
3/8=.375

Since .375 is smaller than .38, then .38 is larger than 3/8.
