3. \( \frac{6}{8} \) is equivalent to \( \frac{3}{4} \). How can you use this to help you write \( \frac{6}{8} \) as a decimal? Show your thinking to solve.

To convert \( \frac{6}{8} \) to a decimal, you can first simplify it to \( \frac{3}{4} \). Since \( \frac{3}{4} \) means 3 parts out of 4, you can divide 3 by 4. When you do the division, 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75. Therefore, \( \frac{6}{8} \) as a decimal is 0.75, just like \( \frac{3}{4} \)! Another fun way to visualize this is to think of a pizza: if you have 4 slices and you eat 3, you've consumed 75% of that pizza, which directly translates to 0.75 in decimal form! So next time you’re enjoying a pizza, remember how fractions and decimals can make your meal even tastier!
