To solve the inequality, we can first isolate n on one side of the inequality.

n - 3/8 > -2/5

We can start by adding 3/8 to both sides of the inequality to eliminate the negative term on the left side.

n - 3/8 + 3/8 > -2/5 + 3/8

Simplifying, the left side cancels out:

n > -2/5 + 3/8

Next, we need to find a common denominator for -2/5 and 3/8, which is 40.

n > -2/5 * 8/8 + 3/8 * 5/5

Simplifying further, we get:

n > -16/40 + 15/40

Combining like terms, we have:

n > -1/40

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is n > -1/40.
