<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, 12, 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 a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal 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 3:</strong>Add a decimal point in the quotient and bring down a 0 to make the dividend 120.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Add a decimal point in the quotient and bring down a 0 to make the dividend 120.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Divide 120 by 50, which gives 2. 2 × 50 = 100. Subtract 100 from 120, which gives a remainder of 20.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Divide 120 by 50, which gives 2. 2 × 50 = 100. Subtract 100 from 120, which gives a remainder of 20.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make the dividend 200. Divide 200 by 50, which gives 4. 4 × 50 = 200. Subtract 200 from 200, which gives a remainder of 0. The division process ends here because we have a remainder of 0.</p>
