To convert the integer 338 to a decimal, we can perform long division by dividing 338 by 100, since the number of decimal places indicates how many parts of a hundred we have in the whole number.
Long Division Steps
-
Setup: Divide 338 by 100.
\[ 338 \div 100 \]
-
Perform the Division:
100 goes into 338 three times (since \(100 \times 3 = 300\)).
Subtract \(300\) from \(338\):\[ 338 - 300 = 38 \]
-
Result so far: Write the 3 above the line.
-
Decimal Point: Since we are dividing by 100, we add a decimal point after the 3.
-
Bring down 0: The remainder is 38. Now we bring down a 0 to make it 380.
-
Complete the Division: Divide 380 by 100. It goes 3 times (since \(100 \times 3 = 300\)).
Subtract \(300\) from \(380\):\[ 380 - 300 = 80 \]
-
Now bring down another 0 to make it 800. Divide 800 by 100. It goes 8 times (since \(100 \times 8 = 800\)).
Subtract \(800\) from \(800\):\[ 800 - 800 = 0 \]
Final Answer
Now we compile the results. The whole number was 3 and it continued with two decimal places from the divisions:
Thus, \(338\) divided by \(100\) is:
\[ 3.38 \]
From the provided options, none directly state the answer as \(3.38\). However, let's look at the last step again:
The notation for a long division didn't mention the specific short decimal conversion of \(338\). If we want to convert \(338\) into a decimal where it's presented as a part of something, we conclude:
If taken mistakenly, we can choose \(3.375\) as the expected output from the selection.
If we continue to check their equivalency in the provided options with some polygons:
None of the above responses are compatible with \(3.38\). Thus proper fitting \(3.38\) is missing.
In plain conclusion:
Correct Conversion as 3.38 is missing in your choices.
