<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top) here, 3, 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 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>To get 3/20 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here, as 3 is smaller than 20, we will take help<a>of</a>the decimal method, which will give us 0.15. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 3 is smaller than 20, it can't be divided directly, so we will take the help of decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 3 as 30 and adding a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 30, we can divide it by 20. Let's see how many times 20 goes into 30.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>30 divided by 20 equals 1 with a remainder of 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>100 divided by 20 equals 5 with a remainder of 0, indicating the division is complete. This process gives us the decimal 0.15.</p>
