Question

Hi if anyone is able to simplify this problem please help me and do so

Answer 1

`(26)/(8)=(13\cdot2)/(4\cdot2)=\,\boxed{\,\frac{13}4\,}\,=\frac{3\cdot4+1}4=3\frac14`

or if its 20, not 26:

`(20)/(8)=(4\cdot5)/(4\cdot2)=\, \boxed{\,\frac{5}2\,}\, =\frac{2\cdot2+1}2=2\frac12`

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hello,

26 = 2 * 13

8 = 2 * 4

so we can simply as below.

`(26)/(8)\\\\=(2*13)/(2*4)\\\\\boxed{=(13)/(4)}`

Thank you
