20/80 = [?]/[?]

1 answer

To express the fraction \( \frac{20}{80} \) in the form \( \frac{?}{?} \), we can simplify it.

First, we can simplify \( \frac{20}{80} \) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20:

\[ \frac{20 \div 20}{80 \div 20} = \frac{1}{4} \]

Thus, \( 20/80 = 1/4 \).

To express this in the form \( \frac{?}{?} \), you can represent it as \( \frac{1}{4} \) or choose any other equivalent fractions. For example:

\[ \frac{2}{8}, \quad \frac{5}{20}, \quad \frac{10}{40}, \quad \frac{25}{100} \]

These all represent the same ratio as \( \frac{20}{80} \).

So, one possible answer is:

\[ \frac{1}{4} = \frac{?}{?} = \frac{1}{4} \]

Alternatively, if you want two numbers, it can be \( \frac{2}{8} \), for example.
