Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a straightforward process for students. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be expressed as a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 30.8 is the number in the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Thus, 30.8 becomes 30.8/1.
