It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top), here 3, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here it is 30. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
3/30 in decimals can be written as 0.1. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it has an end and does not repeat infinitely.
To get 3/30 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here, as 3 is smaller than 30, we will proceed with the division which will give us 0.1.
Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (3) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (30) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: As 3 is smaller than 30, it can't be divided directly, so we will add a decimal point in the quotient and proceed with the division.
Step 3: We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 3 as 30, and then divide.
Step 4: 30 divided by 30 equals 1, so we write 1 in the quotient place.
Step 5: There is no remainder, so the division process stops here.
The answer for 3/30 as a decimal is 0.1.
