1/11 is 0.0909
.09*3 is .27
So what we are saying is .272727272727.....
30th digit will be 7.

Solution:

Since 3/11 = 0.272727…, we see that every odd-numbered (i.e., 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.) digit to the right of the decimal point is 2 and every even-numbered (i.e., 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) digit to the right of the decimal point is 7. Since 30 is an even number, the 30th digit to the right of the decimal point is 7.
