Answer 2

Answer: The required simplest mixed number is
`2(1)/(2).`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to write the following fraction as a mixed number in the simplest form :

`f=(20)/(8)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

To convert the given number into simplest mixed fraction, first we need to cancel the common factors of both of them.

We have from expression (i) that

`f\\\\\\=(20)/(8)\\\\\\=(4*5)/(4*2)\\\\\\=(5)/(2)\\\\\\=2(1)/(2).`

Thus, the required simplest mixed number is
`2(1)/(2).`
