<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, 17 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here, it is 5. 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>

13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Divide 20 by 5, which equals 4 because 5 × 4 = 20. This division process ends with no remainder, making it a terminating decimal.</p>
