<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, 1 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 18. 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 1/18 in decimal, we will use the<a>division</a>method. Here as 1 is smaller than 18, we will use the decimal method to give us 0.05555. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown<a>of</a>the process:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (1) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (18) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 1 is smaller than 18, it can't be divided; here we will use decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 1 as 10 and add a decimal point in the quotient place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 10, we can divide it by 18. Let's see how many times 18 makes 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 10, we can divide it by 18. Let's see how many times 18 makes 10.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>10 is not a multiple of 18, so we will look for the nearest number. We will add another 0 to make it 100, then divide 100 by 18, which goes 5 times (18 × 5 = 90). We will write 5 in the quotient place and subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place and make 10 as 100 and then repeat the division process. The division process continues; we don't get the remainder as 0, this process is called a recurring decimal.</p>
