To find the difference between \( 3 \frac{3}{8} \) and \( 2.7 \), we first convert \( 3 \frac{3}{8} \) into a decimal.
-
Convert the fraction \( \frac{3}{8} \) to a decimal: \[ \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \]
-
So, \( 3 \frac{3}{8} \) can be expressed as: \[ 3 \frac{3}{8} = 3 + 0.375 = 3.375 \]
Now we will subtract \( 2.7 \) from \( 3.375 \): \[ 3.375 - 2.7 \]
- Align the numbers for subtraction:
3.375
- 2.700
---------
- Now perform the subtraction: \[ 3.375 - 2.700 = 0.675 \]
Thus, the difference \( 3 \frac{3}{8} - 2.7 \) is \( 0.675 \).
