<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) here, 16 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 20. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point 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>To get 16/20 in decimal form, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, as 16 is smaller than 20, we will take the help<a>of</a>the decimal method, which will give us 0.8. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (16) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>, and the denominator (20) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 16 is smaller than 20, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 16 as 160 and adding a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 160, we can divide it by 20. Let's see how many times 20 makes up 160.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 160, we can divide it by 20. Let's see how many times 20 makes up 160.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 goes into 160 exactly 8 times, as 20 × 8 = 160.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>20 goes into 160 exactly 8 times, as 20 × 8 = 160.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 160 from 160, which gives 0. As we get the remainder as 0, the decimal process terminates here.</p>
