There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.312 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .312, means. Since there are 3 digits in 312, the very last digit is the "1000th" decimal place. So we can just say that .312 is the same as 312/1000.

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.
