The fraction 3/38 expressed as a percentage is 7.89%. This rounded figure gives a quick sense of how small the portion is compared to a whole.
A fraction like 3/38 means three parts out of a total of thirty‑eight equal parts. When you think of a pizza cut into 38 slices, taking three of them would be just under one‑tenth of the whole pizza.
Because the percentage is under 10 %, it’s useful for describing things that happen rarely, such as a low chance of rain or a small share of a budget. It’s a handy way to communicate size without dealing with large denominators.
In everyday language, saying “about 8 %” is often enough, but the exact 7.89% gives a more precise picture when precision matters.
