<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, 19 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 40. 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 3:</strong>Add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend, making it 190.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend, making it 190.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Now, divide 190 by 40. The quotient is 4, as 40 × 4 = 160. Subtract 160 from 190, which leaves a remainder of 30.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Now, divide 190 by 40. The quotient is 4, as 40 × 4 = 160. Subtract 160 from 190, which leaves a remainder of 30.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 300. Divide by 40 again to get 7, as 40 × 7 = 280. Subtract 280 from 300, which gives a remainder of 20.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 300. Divide by 40 again to get 7, as 40 × 7 = 280. Subtract 280 from 300, which gives a remainder of 20.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 200. Divide by 40 to get 5, as 40 × 5 = 200. Subtract 200 from 200, leaving no remainder. The decimal form of 19/40 is 0.475. Combine this with the whole number 1 to get 1.475.</p>
