<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 (the number on the top) here, 35, represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 40. 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 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>Since 7 is smaller than 8, it can't be divided as is, so we will use decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 7 as 70, and place a decimal point in the quotient.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, divide 70 by 8. We find that 8 goes into 70 eight times (8 × 8 = 64).</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Write 8 in the quotient place and subtract 64 from 70 to get a remainder of 6.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 60. Now divide 60 by 8, which goes 7 times (8 × 7 = 56).</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 60. Now divide 60 by 8, which goes 7 times (8 × 7 = 56).</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 56 from 60 to get a remainder of 4. Bring down another 0 to make it 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Divide 40 by 8 to get 5 (8 × 5 = 40), with a remainder of 0. The division process ends with no remainder, indicating a terminating decimal.</p>
