<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts: numerator (the number on the top), here 3, representing how many parts out of the whole are considered. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 6. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a dot (.) 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>As 3 is smaller than 6, we can use decimals to complete the division. We will add a decimal point in the quotient, allowing us to write 3 as 30.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>6 × 5 = 30, which is exactly 30. We will write 5 in the quotient place.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 30 from 30, which gives 0, meaning the division ends here.</p>
