Answer:
13/6
Step-by-step explanation: 8 pieces in 3 pan give us a total of 8/24, then minus 20/8. The writing of this equation is:
20/8- 8/24 or 8/24- 20/8 (both are good)
The common denominator here is 24 since it can divide 8 and divide itself.
Since you have 24 as denominator, you'll have to reconvert the fractions above by diving 24 by their previous denominator and multiply it by their numerator:
(24/8) × 20= 60 (numerator of the 1st fraction)
(24/24) × 8= 8 (numerator of the 2nd fraction)
The new fractions are then
60/24 - 8/24= 52/24
We could stop there but since we could find an irrational fraction as an answer, why not do it
52/24 (both divided by 2)= 26/12
26/12 can still be divided so we keep going
26/12 (both divided by 2) = 13/6
13 is a prime number and therefore can be divided only by itself, and 6 cannot be divided by 13 without having a decimal answer.
13/6 is the final answer
