<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts: the numerator (the number on the top), here 13, represents how many parts out of the whole are being considered. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make up the whole, here it is 7. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional 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 2:</strong>Divide 13 by 7. 7 goes into 13 once, so we place 1 in the quotient place and subtract 7 from 13 to get 6.</p>
