<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, 18 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 60. 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 18/60 in decimal, we will simplify the<a>fraction</a>first and then use the<a>division</a>method. The fraction 18/60 can be simplified to 3/10 by dividing both the<a>numerator</a>and the<a>denominator</a>by their<a>greatest common divisor</a>, which is 6. Now, let's convert 3/10 to a decimal.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 3 is smaller than 10, it can't be divided without a decimal. We will add a decimal point in the quotient and a zero to the dividend, making it 30.</p>

11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 30, we can divide it by 10. Let's see how many times 10 fits into 30. Step 4: 10 goes into 30 exactly 3 times, with no remainder. So, the quotient is 0.3. The division process ends here, and we obtain a terminating decimal.</p>
