Question

Write the rational number 0.3 in the form ab , where a and b are integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{3}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Number = 0.3$

Required

Represent as $\frac{a}{b}$

Let $\frac{a}{b} = 0.3$

This can be further written as

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{0.3}{1}$

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 10

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{0.3 * 10}{1 * 10}$

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{3}{10}$

Since 3 and 10 are both integers, then

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{3}{10}$
