$3/10=0.30$

$3/10$

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!
