See below.

You can write 0.3 as a fraction in a couple of way.

#30/100=0.30#
#3/10=0.30#

#3/10#

This fraction is literally read as "three tenths", which tells us that we will have a denominator of #10#, and a numerator of #3#.

#0.3=color(blue)(3/10)#

In general, if we have #0.d# where #d# represents any digit, this decimal as a fraction will be

#d/10#

This is true because that digit lands in the tenths place.

Hope this helps!
