<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: the numerator (number on the top) here, 12 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 20. 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><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 12 by 20. Since 12 is smaller than 20, the quotient is 0. Add a decimal point in the quotient place and add a zero to the dividend, making it 120.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, divide 120 by 20. 20 goes into 120 exactly 6 times, so place 6 in the quotient.</p>
