Sure, let's break down how to solve the division of 3 by 8 step-by-step.
### Step 1: Determine the quotient
To find how many times 8 fits into 3 (which is the quotient):
- Since 8 is larger than 3, 8 fits into 3 zero times.
So, the quotient is [tex]\(0\)[/tex].
### Step 2: Determine the remainder
Next, we need to find the remainder when 3 is divided by 8:
- Since 8 doesn't fit into 3 at all, the entire value of 3 is the remainder.
Thus, the remainder is [tex]\(3\)[/tex].
### Step 3: Perform the division to obtain the decimal result
Now, let's perform the division to find the decimal result of [tex]\( \frac{3}{8} \)[/tex]:
- When you divide 3 by 8, you get [tex]\(0.375\)[/tex].
### Summary
Putting it all together:
- The quotient of [tex]\( \frac{3}{8} \)[/tex] is [tex]\(0\)[/tex].
- The remainder is [tex]\(3\)[/tex].
- The decimal result of the division is [tex]\(0.375\)[/tex].
So, the final answers are:
- Quotient: [tex]\(0\)[/tex]
- Remainder: [tex]\(3\)[/tex]
- Decimal Result: [tex]\(0.375\)[/tex]
This gives us a complete understanding of the division of 3 by 8.
