<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, 12 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 30. 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 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><strong>Step 3:</strong>Simplified fraction is 2/5. Now divide 2 by 5 to convert it to decimal form.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>As 2 is smaller than 5, add a decimal point and a zero to make it 20. Step 5: 5 goes into 20 exactly 4 times, so the quotient is 0.4. There is no remainder.</p>
