Question

Explain and demonstrate how to change 0.3% into a fraction

Answer 1

Hello! To convert 0.3% into a fraction, remember that a percentage is actually just a part out of 100. For example, 10% is the same as 10 out of 100 or 10/100, which simplifies to 1/10.

In this case, we are given the percentage 0.3%, which is like saying we have 0.3/100. First, write 0.3 as 0.3/1, because 0.3 is a part out of 1.

Then multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.

0.3 / 1 = 0.3 x 10 / 1 x 10 = 3 / 10

As a side note, the whole number-integral part is: empty

The decimal part is: .3 = 3/10

Full simple fraction breakdown: 30/100

= 3/10

0.3% as a fraction is 3/10.

Answer 2

To change a decimal into a fraction, look to see how many 0’s there are. In this case, there’s one, so it would be 3/10. If there were two 0’s (0.03), it would be 3/100.
