Answer 1

I'm no expert in PHP, but I'm guessing it has to do with floating-point values being approximations. So in other words: maybe 0.3 is actually stored as 0.30000000003.

Answer 2

Because float numbers have a specific accuracy of their representation. You can find more info here: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php
Hope it helps you.
