<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top) here, -7 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 4. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point 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 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make the remainder 30. 4 goes into 30 seven times, with a remainder of 2.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make the remainder 20. 4 goes into 20 five times, with no remainder. This process gives us a terminating decimal.</p>
