English term or phrase: 1/30th
trigésima parte

... an operating cost of about 1/30th that of other products...

El Panhispánico da muchas reglas sobre la forma escrita en letras pero no sobre la grafía en números. ¿Cómo es 1/30.a o solo 1/30?

Gracias

alrededor del tres por ciento


Explanation:
I'd rewrite this in Spanish and give a percentage that's roughly equivalent to the approximate fractional value of the source text ('alrededor del 3%' is a similar order of magnitude to 'about 1/30th').

1/30


Explanation:
Si lo que preguntas es la forma de escribir los fraccionales como números, 1/30 es la forma correcta (sin "a").

Creo que las sugerencias de Karin y Verónica son perfectamente válidas para la forma extensa.
