To convert 338 to a decimal using long division, we assume that we're dividing 338 by 100 (since we want to express it in decimal form as in "per hundred").

  1. Start with 338 and divide by 100:

    • 100 goes into 338 three times (300).
    • Subtract 300 from 338 to get a remainder of 38.
  2. Since we want a decimal, we can append a decimal point to the dividend, making it 338.0.

  3. Now we treat the remainder 38 as 380 (by considering two decimal places):

    • 100 goes into 380 three times (300).
    • Subtract 300 from 380 to get a remainder of 80.
  4. Now treat 80 as 800:

    • 100 goes into 800 eight times (800).
    • Subtract 800 from 800 to get a remainder of 0.

So, the long division gives us:

338 รท 100 = 3.38

Based on the options provided, it seems there might be a misunderstanding, or you might be looking to find a conversion to a different base or divide by another number.

Note: There seems to be no correct answer in the provided options (3.375, 2.66, 33.75, 0.375), since 338 as a decimal by division with 100 equals 3.38.

Please verify the question's context, or if the division needs to be done with a different divisor.
