What is the fraction form of 0.3

Open in App
Solution

Answer and Explanation:

If you were reading the decimal 0.3, how would you say it? It would be 'three tenths' because the 3 is in the tenths place.

When you want to change a decimal to a fraction, you need to read the decimal because it will tell you what the denominator, or bottom number, of the fraction will be. If you are working with 'tenths,' the bottom number of your fraction will be 10. If you're working with 'hundredths,' the bottom number of your fraction will be 100.

The numerator, or the top number, of the fraction is the same number as your decimal, without the decimal point. So, what is 0.3 as a fraction? It would be 3/10!
