ANSWER


(38)/(10)

Step-by-step explanation

We want to write

3.8

in the form

(a)/(b)

We multiply the numerator by multiples of 10 until we get an integer(the least integer) and then divide by the same value we multiplied with.

This implies that,


3.8 = (3. 8* 10)/(10) = (38)/(10)

We have
a=38 and

b=10
Therefore the correct answer is B.
