All we have to do for this is find out how many times 8 can go into 30.


Let’s find the closest number. 8 x 3 = 24 and 8 x 4 = 32. 32 is higher than 30 so that isn’t possible.


Now, since 24 isn’t exactly 30, we can find out the leftovers by subtracting.


30 - 24 = 6


So now, the fraction is 3 6/8.


Simplify 6/8.

Answer:

3 3/4

Explanation:

30/8 is 3.75 which is equal to 3 3/4

or you can see that 8 goes into 30 completely 3 times and then you have 6/8 left over, which simplifies down to 3/4 because 6/2= 3 and 8/2= 4
