That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Three hundredths, expressed as a decimal, is written as 0.03. In decimal notation, the term "hundredths" refers to the second place after the decimal point, where each place value represents a power of ten. The first place after the decimal is tenths (1/10), and the second is hundredths (1/100). Therefore, three-hundredths means three parts out of one hundred, which translates directly to 0.03 in decimal form. Understanding decimal place values is essential for accurate representation of fractions and decimals in mathematical calculations.
