<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 (the number on the top), here 5 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 6. 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><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 5 is smaller than 6, it can't be divided entirely, so we will add 0 to the dividend, making it 50, and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, divide 50 by 6. Let's see how many times 6 fits into 50.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, divide 50 by 6. Let's see how many times 6 fits into 50.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>50 is not a multiple of 6, so we will look for the nearest number, which is 6 × 8 = 48. We will write 8 in the quotient place and subtract 48 from 50, giving 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 20, and repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0. This process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
