It depends upon for what you need the estimation.
However, 0.3 is exactly 3/10 which is a much more useful estimate (if it could be called one) as dividing a non-repeating decimal number by 10 guarantees an exact answer in decimals whereas dividing by 3 (or multiplying by 1/3 which is the same) can lead to repeating decimals which can only be approximated as a terminating decimal.

∙ 7y agoHow good the estimate is depends on your needs. It may be good enough for some purposes; not good enough for others. The difference between 1/3 and 3/10 is 1/30; in percentage terms, 1/3 is about 11% more than 3/10.
