Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

since 0.375 has three digits after the decimal, it's in the thousandths place.

use the equation (0.375 x 1000) / 1000 to get the fraction 375 / 1000

since it's not in simplified form, you'll need to divide both the numerator and denominator by the highest common factor (the highest possible number which divides both the numbers exactly; via cuemath.com), 125.

use the equation (375 / 125) / (1000 / 125) to get your final answer

375 divided by 125= 3

1000 divided by 125= 8

ans.- 3/8
