<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, 32, representing how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 40. 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><strong>Step 2:</strong>Since 32 is smaller than 40, we can't divide it directly. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add a decimal point in the quotient place and consider the dividend as 320.</p>

12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>320 is a multiple of 40, so we will divide 320 by 40, which gives us 8.</p>
