<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 21, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 5. 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 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>5 goes into 10 two times, which gives us 10. Subtract 10 from 10, and the remainder is 0. This process shows that the division ends with no remainder, making it a terminating decimal.</p>
