Solution

The correct option is A 310

Method 1

0.3 is three tenths.

0.3=310

Method 2

Shift the decimal rightwards to reach the far right to get the numerator of the fraction.

And, the denominator is 1 followed by number of zeros by which the decimal point is shifted in the numerator.

0.3=NumeratorDenominator

0.3=3.0Denominator

Here, the decimal point is shifted only one time.

The denominator is 1 followed by one zero.

0.3=310

Let's verify this.

The last digit of the decimal number is the place value of tenths.

Also, in the right-hand side, we have three tenths, which is same as the left-hand side.
