Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

16 out of the 20 times landed on heads, making 4/20 times it landed on tails.

16 divided by 20 is .8 which turns into 80%

100% - 80% = 20%

To simplify into a fraction:

80/100 is equivalent to 4/5 when divided by 20, leaving 1/5 to complete the fraction which later totals to 100%
