How do you Change 0.3 to a fraction?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimals can be written in fraction form. To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal number over its place value. For example, in 0.6, the six is in the tenths place, so we place 6 over 10 to create the equivalent fraction, 6/10. If needed, simplify the fraction.
