<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: the numerator (number on the top) here, 10 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. 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 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><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0 to make it 20, and divide 20 by 8.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>8 goes into 20 two times (8 × 2 = 16), write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 16 from 20, which leaves a remainder of 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Bring down another 0 to make it 40, and divide 40 by 8.</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>8 goes into 40 five times (8 × 5 = 40), write 5 in the quotient place.</p>
