<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 3, 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 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>To get 3/32 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here as 3 is smaller than 32, we will take help of the decimal method, which will give us 0.09375. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (3) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (32) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (3) 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 3 is smaller than 32, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 3 as 30, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 3 is smaller than 32, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 3 as 30, and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 30, we cannot divide it by 32. We will add another 0 to make it 300.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 30, we cannot divide it by 32. We will add another 0 to make it 300.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>300 divided by 32 is approximately 9 times. 32 × 9 = 288. Subtract 288 from 300 gives 12.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>300 divided by 32 is approximately 9 times. 32 × 9 = 288. Subtract 288 from 300 gives 12.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 120.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 120.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>120 divided by 32 is approximately 3 times. 32 × 3 = 96. Subtract 96 from 120 gives 24.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>120 divided by 32 is approximately 3 times. 32 × 3 = 96. Subtract 96 from 120 gives 24.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 240. 240 divided by 32 is 7 times. 32 × 7 = 224. Subtract 224 from 240 gives 16.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 240. 240 divided by 32 is 7 times. 32 × 7 = 224. Subtract 224 from 240 gives 16.</p>
16
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 160. 160 divided by 32 is 5 times. 32 × 5 = 160. Subtract 160 from 160 gives 0. The division process ends with a remainder of 0, indicating that it is a terminating decimal.</p>
