<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, 1 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 28. 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 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (1) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (28) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 1 is smaller than 28, it can't be divided, so we will use decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making it 10, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 1 is smaller than 28, it can't be divided, so we will use decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making it 10, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 10, we cannot divide 10 by 28, so we add another 0, making it 100. We continue to add zeros until we can divide.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 10, we cannot divide 10 by 28, so we add another 0, making it 100. We continue to add zeros until we can divide.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>100 divided by 28 is approximately 3 times (3×28=84). We write 3 in the quotient place and subtract 84 from 100, giving 16.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>100 divided by 28 is approximately 3 times (3×28=84). We write 3 in the quotient place and subtract 84 from 100, giving 16.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place, making it 160, and then repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we get a repeating sequence of digits.</p>
