<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, 51, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 16. 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 2:</strong>Divide 51 by 16 to get the quotient.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>51 divided by 16 gives 3 with a remainder of 3.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>51 divided by 16 gives 3 with a remainder of 3.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to the remainder to make it 30, and continue the division.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to the remainder to make it 30, and continue the division.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>30 divided by 16 gives 1 with a remainder of 14.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>30 divided by 16 gives 1 with a remainder of 14.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to the remainder to make it 140, and continue the division.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to the remainder to make it 140, and continue the division.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>140 divided by 16 gives 8 with a remainder of 12.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>140 divided by 16 gives 8 with a remainder of 12.</p>
16
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Bring down another 0 to the remainder to make it 120, and continue the division.</p>
16
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Bring down another 0 to the remainder to make it 120, and continue the division.</p>
17
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>120 divided by 16 gives 7 with a remainder of 8.</p>
17
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>120 divided by 16 gives 7 with a remainder of 8.</p>
18
<p><strong>Step 10:</strong>Bring down another 0 to the remainder to make it 80, and divide it by 16 to get 5 with a remainder of 0. The division process ends here because the remainder is 0.</p>
