<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, the numerator (number on the top) here, 18 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 18 by 8. Since 18 is larger than 8, we can divide directly.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>8 goes into 18 two times, as 8 × 2 = 16.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>8 goes into 18 two times, as 8 × 2 = 16.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract 16 from 18, which gives us a remainder of 2.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract 16 from 18, which gives us a remainder of 2.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make 20. Divide 20 by 8, which goes 2 times as 8 × 2 = 16.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make 20. Divide 20 by 8, which goes 2 times as 8 × 2 = 16.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 16 from 20, which gives us a remainder of 4.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 16 from 20, which gives us a remainder of 4.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make 40. Divide 40 by 8, which goes 5 times as 8 × 5 = 40.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make 40. Divide 40 by 8, which goes 5 times as 8 × 5 = 40.</p>
16
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Subtract 40 from 40, which gives us a remainder of 0, concluding the division.</p>
16
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Subtract 40 from 40, which gives us a remainder of 0, concluding the division.</p>
17
<p><strong>Thus, the answer for 18/8 as a decimal will be 2.25.</strong></p>
