<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 100. 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 5/100 in decimal form, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, as 5 is smaller than 100, we will<a>add decimals</a>to assist in the division, which will give us 0.05. 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 dividend and the denominator (100) will be taken as divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 5 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 5 as 50, and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 5 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 5 as 50, and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 50, it still cannot be divided by 100 directly, so we add another 0, making it 500.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>500 divided by 100 equals 5. We will write 0.05 in the quotient as the decimal placement.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>500 divided by 100 equals 5. We will write 0.05 in the quotient as the decimal placement.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The division process ends here as we have a remainder of 0, making it a terminating decimal.</p>
