To determine which number is not equivalent to \(-\frac{3}{8}\), we can convert each option into the same format, either as a fraction or a decimal.
1. \(-\frac{3}{8}\) is already in fraction form.
2. \(3/-8\) is equivalent to \(-\frac{3}{8}\) because \(3/-8 = -\frac{3}{8}\).
3. \(8/-3\) simplifies to \(-\frac{8}{3}\), which is not equivalent to \(-\frac{3}{8}\).
4. \(-0.375\) can be expressed as a fraction. Since \(-0.375 = -\frac{375}{1000} = -\frac{3}{8}\) (by simplifying), this is equivalent to \(-\frac{3}{8}\).
5. \(-\frac{3}{8}\) is obviously equivalent to \(-\frac{3}{8}\).
Thus, the number that is not equivalent to \(-\frac{3}{8}\) is **\(8/-3\)**.
