Three-tenths of the total volume, v, of water in a bucket spills. Which statement explains why 3/10x and 0.3x can each find the
volume of the water that spilled? The fraction 310 is equivalent to the decimal 0.03. Therefore, 310x can be rewritten as 0.03x. The expressions are not equivalent. Multiplying by 3/10 is the same as multiplying by 30%. Multiplying by 3 is the same as multiplying by 30%.
