<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, 18 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 12. 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 those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>To continue dividing, add a decimal point and a zero to the remainder, making it 60.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5</strong>: Divide 60 by 12, which gives us 5.</p>
