<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, 18 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 7. 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>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Since 18 is larger than 7, we can divide directly to get the whole number part of the result. 7 goes into 18 two times, giving us 2 as the whole number part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Subtract 14 (7 × 2) from 18, which leaves a remainder of 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 40. Now, divide 40 by 7.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>7 goes into 40 five times (7 × 5 = 35), leaving a remainder of 5.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>7 goes into 40 five times (7 × 5 = 35), leaving a remainder of 5.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 50. 7 goes into 50 seven times (7 × 7 = 49), leaving a remainder of 1.</p>
