<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top), which in this case, 5, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 5 by 8.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 5 by 8.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Since 5 is smaller than 8, we add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend, making it 50.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Since 5 is smaller than 8, we add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend, making it 50.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>8 goes into 50 six times since 8 × 6 = 48. Write 6 in the<a>quotient</a>and subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 20.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>8 goes into 20 two times since 8 × 2 = 16. Write 2 in the quotient and subtract 16 from 20 to get 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 40.</p>
16
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>8 goes into 40 five times since 8 × 5 = 40. Write 5 in the quotient, giving no<a>remainder</a>.</p>
