Answer:

1 7/20

Explanation:

The fraction given to us (27/20) is called an improper fraction, because the numerator (top number) is greater than the denominator (bottom number).

In this case, break it down. You know that when the numerator & denominator have the same number, it will equal 1. And so change the number.

27/20 = (20 + 7)/20

20/20 = 1

7/20 is left over

1 7/20 is your answer
