3 3/8. To figure this out, figure out how many times 8 goes into 27.

8 goes into 27 three times.

Now, multiply 8 and three together to figure out how many eights there are in 3.

3 = 24/8

There are still 3/8 remaining.

Your answer would be
3 3/8.

Message me if you need any help! Hope this helped

That is simplest form. If you want a fraction with a whole number, that is called a mixed fraction.
