To find out how many ripe bananas Belinda has, we need to calculate 3/8 of 40.

First, we can convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator (3) by the denominator (8):

3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Next, we multiply the decimal by the total number of bananas (40) to find the number of ripe bananas:

0.375 x 40 = 15

Therefore, Belinda has 15 ripe bananas.
