To convert the mixed number \(1 \frac{3}{8}\) to a decimal, follow these steps:
1. Convert the fractional part \( \frac{3}{8} \) to a decimal. To do this, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (8):
\[
3 \div 8 = 0.375
\]
2. Now combine the whole number part (1) with the decimal part (0.375):
\[
1 + 0.375 = 1.375
\]
So, \(1 \frac{3}{8}\) pounds can be expressed as the decimal **1.375**.
