See below.

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

$\frac{30}{100} = 0.30$ $30/100=0.30$
$\frac{3}{10} = 0.30$ $3/10=0.30$

$\frac{3}{10}$ $3/10$

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

$0.3 = \frac{3}{10}$ $0.3=color(blue)(3/10)$

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

$\frac{d}{10}$ $d/10$

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

Hope this helps!
