<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A mixed number represents a combination of a whole number and a fraction. The fraction part has a numerator (number on the top) and a denominator (number below). A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a decimal point (.) 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 2:</strong>As 5 is smaller than 7, it can't be divided directly. We'll use decimals to solve this. We will add 0 to the dividend, making it 50, and place a decimal point in the quotient.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>7 fits into 50 seven times since 7 × 7 = 49. Write 7 in the quotient place and subtract 49 from 50 to get 1.</p>
