Question

what is 3.375 as a fraction in simplest form?

Answer 1

.375 means 375 thousandths
thats 375/1000
adding 3 onto it, you write it as 3 375/1000
to change it into an improper fraction, multiply the denominator (1000) by the whole number (3), then add the numerator to get the new numerator. use the original denominator.

so that would be 3000 + 375/1000
which is 3375/1000
simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5, again and again, till you cant anymore.

3375/1000
=675/200
=135/40
=27/8
thats the fraction, reduced as much as possible :)

Answer 2

Your answer is $\frac{27}{8}$ but when you simplify it is $3 \frac{3}{8}$.
