<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: numerator (number on the top) here, 27 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 50. 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>To convert 27/50 into a decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, 27 is the<a>numerator</a>(<a>dividend</a>) and 50 is the<a>denominator</a>(<a>divisor</a>). Since 27 is smaller than 50, we will use the decimal method to perform the division:</p>
