Answer:

0.375

cannot be simplified more.

Explanation:

three is prime, meaning it can only be divided by 1 and itself. When you see a prime in a fraction, you cannot simplify anymore without accidentally making it more complicated. Divided would just be the decimal form. The decimal form of 1/8 is 0.125, so if you multiply it by three you should get 3/8=0.375
