Your 3 out of 8 is a fraction representing 3/8ths. It could be odds in some kind of exercise in probability. The activity yields a 3 in 8 chance of a given outcome. As an expression of odds, it's 3 to 8 (or 3:8). Same 3 in 8 chances of a given outcome. In probability, the range is from 0 (no chance whatever of the event happening) to 1 (it is going to happen and no force in the universe will preven it). To convert 3 out of 8 in to probability, we divide 3 by 8 and get 0.375 for the probability. We can convert that to something else, and we get 375 out of 1000 for a "new" representation.
