To find the same value as 3 x 1/10 you first have to solve 3 x 1/10
so how to do this is you have to make 3 into a fraction
so to make 3 into a fraction you can put 3 as the numerator and 1 as the denominator
so you multiply

so 3/10 has the same value as 3x1/10
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
Use the formula i=prt, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal, r is the rate (as a decimal fraction) and t is the elapsed time, in years.
Here i = $72 = $1200 r (9/12) (9 months is 9/12, or 3/4, of 1 year)
Reducing,
$72 = $900r
Solving for r, r=0.08, or 8 percent per year.
Check the picture below. So let's use those two points on the line.

bearing in mind that the standard form is also a general form.
standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
