Step-By-Step Guide to Convert 0.3 as a Fraction
Step 1: Write down the decimal & divide by 1.
0.3/1
Step 2: Multiply the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by a power of 10, making the numerator a whole number. In the case of
0.3, we multiply by 10 because the decimal extends to the tenth place.
