<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, 8 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 8/50 into a decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, 8 is smaller than 50, so we can directly use the division method which will give us 0.16. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown<a>of</a>the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (8) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (50) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 8 is smaller than 50, it can't be divided directly, so we will convert it into a decimal. We will add 0 to the dividend, which makes 8 into 80 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 8 is smaller than 50, it can't be divided directly, so we will convert it into a decimal. We will add 0 to the dividend, which makes 8 into 80 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 80, we can divide it by 50.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 80, we can divide it by 50.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>50 goes into 80 once, so we write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 50 from 80, giving us 30.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>50 goes into 80 once, so we write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 50 from 80, giving us 30.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place making it 300, and divide by 50 again.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place making it 300, and divide by 50 again.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>50 goes into 300 six times, so we write 6 in the quotient place. The division process concludes as we reach a remainder of 0, making the decimal 0.16.</p>
