So the first fraction is:

1)


(20)/(5)

So we have to find a number that is multiple of 20 and 5, in this case is the number 5. the we have to divide the two numbers in 5:


(5)/(5)=1\to\text{ }(20)/(5)=4

So at the end the fraction is going to be equal to:


(20)/(5)=4

2)


(12)/(96)

and 12 and 96 are multiples of two, so we can divide by 2


(12)/(2)=6\to(96)/(2)=48

now we need to find other number that is multiple of 6 and 48, and agins is the number 2:


(6)/(2)=3\to(48)/(2)=24

Now 3 and 24 are multiples of 3, so we make the same procedure:


(3)/(3)=1\to(24)/(3)=8

So at the end is going to be:


(12)/(96)=(1)/(8)

3)


(100)/(2)

100 and 2 are multiples of 2, so we divide them by 2:


(100)/(2)=50\to(2)/(2)=1

So the final Resold will be:


(100)/(2)=(50)/(1)=50
