<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, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole. 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 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>Step 2: As 8 is smaller than 9, it can't be divided without using decimals. We will add a 0 to the dividend, making it 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 9. Let's see how many times 9 fits into 80.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 80, we can divide it by 9. Let's see how many times 9 fits into 80.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>80 is not a multiple of 9, so we will look for the nearest number that is 9 × 8 = 72. We will write 8 in the quotient place and subtract 72 from 80, giving 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>
