Answer 1

fraction-3/10

decimal-.3

Answer 2

Explanation:

There are a few ways you could look at this, but this is the way that I prefer:

A percent is essentially already a fraction out of 100. 100% = 1. Therefore, 30% =
`(30)/(100)`.

To simplify this, divide the top and the bottom by 10. This equals
`(3)/(10)`. Because 3 is a prime number and 10 is not divisible by 3, this is completely simplified.

To find the percent of any fraction, the easiest way is to simply divide the top by the bottom.

3/10 = 0.3

This is your final answer, as there is no number in the hundredth place or beyond to concern yourself with.
