<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 25, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. A decimal is a way to represent a 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>Bring down a 0 to make it 10, and add a decimal point in the quotient.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>8 goes into 10 once (8 × 1 = 8). Write 1 in the quotient after the decimal point.</p>

<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Subtract 16 from 20, giving us 4. Bring down another 0 to make it 40.</p>
17
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>8 goes into 40 five times (8 × 5 = 40). Write 5 in the quotient. There is no remainder left, so the division process ends here.</p>
