<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, 6 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 14. A decimal is a way to represent the 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 4:</strong>Determine how many times 14 fits into 60. It fits 4 times (14 × 4 = 56). Subtract 56 from 60 to get 4.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 40. Divide 40 by 14, which fits 2 times (14 × 2 = 28). Subtract 28 from 40 to get 12.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 40. Divide 40 by 14, which fits 2 times (14 × 2 = 28). Subtract 28 from 40 to get 12.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 120. Divide 120 by 14, which fits 8 times (14 × 8 = 112). Subtract 112 from 120 to get 8.</p>
