Explanation:
Step 1 :
Break down the fraction with the H.C.F of the numerator and the denominator.
For instance, in Question 5 , the HCF of 20 and 8 is 4. So, 4 will go into 20 five(5) times and 4 will go into 8 two(2) times, leaving 5/2.
Step 2 :
Then 2 (denominator) will go into 5(numerator) two(2) times.
So, you'll get 2 as the whole number .
Step 3:
Multiply the denominator by the whole number (2×2) to get 4.
Then subtract 4 from 5 to get 1 and to form a proper fraction by making 1 the numerator and the 2 the denominator to get 1/ 2
Step 4 :
Then put the 2( whole number) and the 1/2 ( proper fraction) together to get the mixed fraction
