Question

On average, 4 20 of the money you spend on a product pays for the packaging. What is this fraction when you cancel it down?

Answer 1

`(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

We are given,

The fraction of money spent on a product =
`(4)/(20)`.

Since, we have that,

20 = 4 × 5

Simplifying this equation to get the required fraction i.e.
`(4)/(20)`, we get,

`(4)/(20)=(1)/(5)`

Thus, the fraction after canceling down gives the answer
`(1)/(5)`.
