<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, 17, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here, it is 4. 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 2:</strong>Divide 17 by 4.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>4 goes into 17 four times (4 × 4 = 16). Write 4 in the quotient place. Subtract 16 from 17 to get a remainder of 1.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 10. Divide 10 by 4.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>4 goes into 10 two times (4 × 2 = 8). Write 2 in the quotient place after a decimal point. Subtract 8 from 10 to get a remainder of 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 20. Divide 20 by 4.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>4 goes into 20 five times (4 × 5 = 20). Write 5 in the quotient place. Subtract 20 from 20 to get a remainder of 0. Since the remainder is 0, the division process stops here.</p>
