<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 3 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 1:</strong>Identify the<a>whole number</a>,<a>numerator</a>, and<a>denominator</a>. The whole number is 3, the numerator (3) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (16) will be taken as the divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>whole number</a>,<a>numerator</a>, and<a>denominator</a>. The whole number is 3, the numerator (3) will be taken as the dividend, and the denominator (16) will be taken as the divisor.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 3 by 16. Since 3 is smaller than 16, we add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend, making it 30.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 3 by 16. Since 3 is smaller than 16, we add a decimal point and a zero to the dividend, making it 30.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 30 by 16, which goes 1 time (1 × 16 = 16). Subtracting 16 from 30 gives 14.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 30 by 16, which goes 1 time (1 × 16 = 16). Subtracting 16 from 30 gives 14.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 140. Divide 140 by 16, which goes 8 times (8 × 16 = 128). Subtracting 128 from 140 gives 12.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 140. Divide 140 by 16, which goes 8 times (8 × 16 = 128). Subtracting 128 from 140 gives 12.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 120. Divide 120 by 16, which goes 7 times (7 × 16 = 112). Subtracting 112 from 120 gives 8.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 120. Divide 120 by 16, which goes 7 times (7 × 16 = 112). Subtracting 112 from 120 gives 8.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 80. Divide 80 by 16, which goes 5 times (5 × 16 = 80). Subtracting 80 from 80 gives 0, and the division ends here.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 80. Divide 80 by 16, which goes 5 times (5 × 16 = 80). Subtracting 80 from 80 gives 0, and the division ends here.</p>
