It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top) here, 3 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
10 3/8 in decimals can be written as 10.375. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.
To convert 10 3/8 into decimal, we will separate the whole number from the fractional part and convert the fraction to a decimal.
Step 1: Identify the whole number and the fraction. Here, the whole number is 10, and the fraction is 3/8.
Step 2: Convert the fraction 3/8 into a decimal by dividing the numerator (3) by the denominator (8).
Step 3: 3 divided by 8 equals 0.375.
Step 4: Combine the whole number with the decimal equivalent of the fraction: 10 + 0.375 = 10.375.
The answer for 10 3/8 as a decimal will be 10.375.
