<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts: numerator (number on the top) here, 2 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 3. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction 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>As 2 is smaller than 3, it can't be divided completely. Here, we will use decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making it 20, and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, 20 divided by 3. Let's see how many times 3 fits into 20.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 is not a multiple of 3, so we look for the nearest number, 3 × 6 = 18. We write 6 in the quotient place and subtract 18 from 20, giving us 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 20 again, and repeat the division process. This division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0; this process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
