From the lesson “Tenths: Fractions and Decimals”

Which decimal is equal to 3/10?

  • 3.0
  • 0.3
  • 0.03
  • 30
Show the answer

0.3. 3/10 means 3 tenths, and the tenths place is just right of the decimal point. So it is 0.3.

Hint kids see after a wrong try: “Three tenths goes in the tenths place, right after the decimal point.”
