<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, numerator (number on the top) here, 48 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 60. 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>To get 48/60 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, 48 is the<a>numerator</a>(<a>dividend</a>), and 60 is the<a>denominator</a>(<a>divisor</a>). Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (48) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (60) will be taken as the divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 48 by 60. Since 48 is smaller than 60, it can't be divided directly as a whole number, so we will use decimals.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Now that it is 480, we can divide it by 60. Let's see how many times 60 fits into 480.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Now that it is 480, we can divide it by 60. Let's see how many times 60 fits into 480.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>60 × 8 = 480. Write 8 in the quotient place, and subtract 480 from 480, resulting in a remainder of 0. Since the remainder is 0, the division ends here.</p>
