<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, 1 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 3. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a point (.) 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 convert 5 1/3 into a decimal, we separate the<a>whole number</a>from the<a>fraction</a>. The whole number 5 remains as is. For the fraction 1/3, we'll use the<a>division</a>method. Since 1 is smaller than 3, we use the decimal method, which gives us 0.3333... 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 (1) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>, and the denominator (3) will be taken as the divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 1 is smaller than 3, it can't be divided. Here we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 1 as 10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 10, we can divide it by 3. Let's see how many times 3 makes 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 10, we can divide it by 3. Let's see how many times 3 makes 10.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>10 is not a multiple of 3, so we will look for the nearest number that is 3 × 3 = 9. We will write 3 in the quotient place and subtract 9 from 10, giving 1.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place and make 1 as 10, then repeat the division process. The division process continues; we don't get the remainder as 0. This process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
