<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 6, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 20. 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>To get 6/20 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, as 6 is smaller than 20, we will take the help<a>of</a>the decimal method, which will give us 0.3. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 6 is smaller than 20, it can't be divided as is. We will add a decimal point in the quotient place and make the dividend 60 by adding a zero.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 60, we can divide it by 20. Let's see how many times 20 goes into 60.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 60, we can divide it by 20. Let's see how many times 20 goes into 60.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>60 is a multiple of 20, so 20 × 3 = 60. We will write 3 in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>60 is a multiple of 20, so 20 × 3 = 60. We will write 3 in the quotient place.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtracting 60 from 60 gives us 0, and thus no remainder. The division process gives us a terminating decimal.</p>
