1/3 meter : one third of a meter.
0.304 meter : "zero point three O four meters" or "zero point three zero four meters" is very well understood between scientists, engineers, arquitects, technicians, contractors, military, and other people.

I would say it depends on who you are talking to. If it is an informal conversation, then 1/3 meter is acceptable, but if you are required to be more accurate, then 0.304 meters is most correct.
Cheers!

"1/3 meter" = One third of a meter
"0.304 meter" = Zero point three oh four meters

I'd still say 1/3 as I would 1/2 kilo for example. I don't think fractions are affected by imperial/metric - I wouldn't say I want .5 of a kilo of potato salad! I might say 500 grams but I still think fractions are perfectly acceptable.

One-third of a meter, or "just over 30 centimeters."

I'd say "point three oh four of a meter" myself if I was talking to mathematical sorts and "a third of a meter" if I was dealing with less scientific sorts!

one third of a meter
or
point three of a meter
0.304 would be 30.4 centimetres wouldn't it?
I think :)
