Answer:

Rational

Explanation:

A natural number is a whole number, so that eliminates natural and whole. An integer is a whole number that includes negative numbers. Since 3/8 is not a whole number, we can eliminate that too. Rational numbers are fractions that don't go on forever. 3/8 is a rational number.

3/8 is classified as a rational number.

All fractions, positive or negative, are rational numbers.

Natural numbers, whole numbers, and integers don't include fractions.
