0.375 =
(3)/(8)

First, rewrite the decimal into a fraction and put 1 in the denominator.

0.375 =
(0.375)/(1)

Next, you want to multiply to remove 3 decimal places. You will multiply both the top number and the bottom number by 1,000.


(0.375)/(1) ×
(1000)/(1000) =
(375)/(1000)

Lastly, Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 375 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 125.


(375)/(1000) ÷
(125)/(125)
(3)/(8)

Therefore, 0.375 =
(3)/(8)
