Explanation:
Decimals are a combination of one whole number called the “integral part,” which precedes the decimal separator, and one or more numbers called the “fractional part,” which follows the decimal separator. The integral part and the decimal part are separated by a decimal point.
To convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, the numerator is 3 and the denominator is 8. So, 3 ÷ 8 is 0.375.
In the above example, 0 is the “integral part” and 375 together are known as the “fractional part”.
