<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: numerator (number on the top), here 50, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 100. 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 50/100 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, 50 is smaller than 100, so we will use the decimal method, which will give us 0.5. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown<a>of</a>the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 50 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly to give a whole number, so we will use decimals. We will add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>100 goes into 500 five times exactly, so we write 5 in the quotient place.</p>
