Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) See below how to convert this mixed number to a decimal:
Step 1: divide numerator (3) by the denominator (8):
3 ÷ 8 = 0.375
Step 2: add this value to the the integer part:
1 + 0.375 = 1.375. So,
1 3/8 = 1.375
Approximated Values:
1 3/8 = 1 rounded to 1 significant figure
1 3/8 = 1.4 rounded to 2 significant figures
2) Step 1: divide numerator (1) by the denominator (2):
1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
Step 2: add this value to the the integer part:
3 + 0.5 = 3.5. So,
3 1/2 = 3.5.
