Step 1: Recall that 0.3 is equivalent to 3/10 (the 3 is in the tenths place). Step 2: To convert the denominator from 10 to 100, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10: (3×10)/(10×10) = 30/100 Step 3: The missing numerator is 30.

Decimal to Fraction Conversion

Decimals can be converted to fractions by using the place value of the last digit as the denominator. For tenths, the denominator is 10; for hundredths, it is 100, etc. We then simplify or scale the fraction as needed. This is used for comparing values, precise measurements, and algebraic calculations.
