<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top), here 9, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here it is 21. 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>To get 9/21 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, as 9 is smaller than 21, we will take the help of the decimal method, which will give us 0.42857. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (9) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (21) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 9 is smaller than 21, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 9 as 90 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 9 is smaller than 21, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 9 as 90 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 90, we can divide it by 21. Let's see how many times 21 makes 90.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 90, we can divide it by 21. Let's see how many times 21 makes 90.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>90 is not a multiple of 21, so we will look for the nearest number that is 21 × 4 = 84. We will write 4 in the quotient place and subtract 84 from 90, which gives 6.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>90 is not a multiple of 21, so we will look for the nearest number that is 21 × 4 = 84. We will write 4 in the quotient place and subtract 84 from 90, which gives 6.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 60, and then repeat the division process. The division process continues; as we don't get the remainder as 0, this process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
