Well, honey, three twentieths is just a fancy way of saying 3 divided by 20. So, if you wanna get technical, it's equal to 0.15. But who needs all those decimal points when you can just simplify and say it's a fraction that's a little over a tenth? Math made easy, just like that.
Three in fraction form is three over one.
30 percent can be written as 30%.It means the same as 30/100.Expressed as a proper fraction, 30 percent is equal to 3/10 or three tenths.To work out what it is as a decimal number, we divide 30 by 100 (or 3 by 10). That's 0.3.So expressed as a decimal fraction, it is equal to 0.3
To represent 3 halves as a fraction, you can write it as 3/2. This fraction means you have 3 parts out of a total of 2 equal parts. Visually, you can draw a rectangle divided into 2 equal parts and shade in 3 of those parts to represent 3 halves.
A fraction is a "fraction" because it represent a number of smaller "pieces" or "parts" of a whole. For example 1/3 represents one of three equal sections of a whole object (1). The fraction 2/3 is equal to two of those parts (thirds) of the whole. Sometimes fractions will be "improper" with a larger numerator than a denominator. Working with the number 4/3 is usually more convenient than using the equivalent "mixed number" which is 1 1/3 -- and where the decimal version is not exact (1.333333...).
