<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 5 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 99. A decimal is a way to represent the 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 that to the right represents the fractional part.</p>

<p>To get 5/99 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here as 5 is smaller than 99, we will take help of the decimal method which will give us 0.050505... 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 (5) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (99) will be taken as the divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 5 is smaller than 99, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 5 as 50 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 5 is smaller than 99, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 5 as 50 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 50, we can divide it by 99. As 50 is still too small, we add another 0 to make it 500.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 50, we can divide it by 99. As 50 is still too small, we add another 0 to make it 500.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Divide 500 by 99. The closest multiple of 99 is 495 (99 × 5), so we write 5 in the quotient place and subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Divide 500 by 99. The closest multiple of 99 is 495 (99 × 5), so we write 5 in the quotient place and subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 50 again, and repeat the division process. The division process continues, repeating the sequence "05". This process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
