<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 up the whole, here it is 30. 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 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>To get 16/30 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, as 16 is smaller than 30, we will take the help of the decimal method, which will give us 0.5333. 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 (30) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 16 is smaller than 30, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 16 as 160, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 160, we can divide it by 30. Let's see how many times 30 makes 160.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 160, we can divide it by 30. Let's see how many times 30 makes 160.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>160 is not a multiple of 30, so we will look for the nearest number that is 30 × 5 = 150. We will write 5 in the quotient place and subtract 150 from 160, which gives 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place and make 10 as 100 and then repeat the division process. The division process continues with the remainder not reaching 0, indicating a recurring decimal.</p>
