<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn mixed numbers and decimals. A mixed number represents a combination of a whole number and a fraction. The fraction has two parts: the numerator (the number on the top) here, 3 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (the number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 11. 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>To get -5 3/11 in decimal, we will first convert the<a>fraction</a>3/11 to a decimal. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (3) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (11) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 3 is smaller than 11, it can't be divided. Here, we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 3 as 30 and add a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 30, we can divide it by 11. Let's see how many times 11 makes 30.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 30, we can divide it by 11. Let's see how many times 11 makes 30.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>30 is not a multiple of 11, so we will look for the nearest number that is 11 × 2 = 22. We will write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 22 from 30 to get 8.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>30 is not a multiple of 11, so we will look for the nearest number that is 11 × 2 = 22. We will write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 22 from 30 to get 8.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make 8 as 80, and then repeat the division process. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0. This process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
