Explanation:

Step1: Recall division of integers as fraction

When dividing two integers \(a\) and \(b\) (where \(b
eq0\)), \(a\div b=\frac{a}{b}\).
Here, \(a = 3\) and \(b=8\), so \(3\div8=\frac{3}{8}\).

Step2: Evaluate the options

• Option \(\frac{8}{3}\): This is \(8\div3\), not \(3\div8\), so incorrect.
• Option \(\frac{5}{8}\): \(5\div8\) is not equal to \(3\div8\), so incorrect.
• Option \(\frac{3}{8}\): By the rule of division as fraction, \(3\div8=\frac{3}{8}\), so this is correct.
• Option \(2\): \(3\div8 = 0.375

eq2\), so incorrect.

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{8}\) (the option with \(\frac{3}{8}\))
