<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, 15, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 32. 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 (15) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (32) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 15 is smaller than 32, it can't be divided, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 15 as 150 and adding a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 15 is smaller than 32, it can't be divided, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 15 as 150 and adding a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 150, we can divide it by 32. Let's see how many times 32 fits into 150.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 150, we can divide it by 32. Let's see how many times 32 fits into 150.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>32 × 4 = 128, which is the nearest possible multiple of 32 less than 150. We will write 4 in the quotient place and subtract 128 from 150, giving 22.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>32 × 4 = 128, which is the nearest possible multiple of 32 less than 150. We will write 4 in the quotient place and subtract 128 from 150, giving 22.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 220, then divide by 32. This process continues until you reach the remainder of 0 or enough decimal places. The division process ends with a remainder of 0, confirming it is a terminating decimal.</p>
