To find out how many cookies were left after Mrs. Kumar's children took some, we can subtract the number of cookies taken from the total number of cookies made.
Mrs. Kumar made 20 cookies, and her children took 16 of them:
\[
\text{Cookies left} = \text{Total cookies} - \text{Cookies taken} = 20 - 16 = 4
\]
Now, to find the fraction of cookies that were left, we take the number of cookies left and divide it by the total number of cookies:
\[
\text{Fraction of cookies left} = \frac{\text{Cookies left}}{\text{Total cookies}} = \frac{4}{20}
\]
Now we can simplify that fraction:
\[
\frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5}
\]
So, the fraction of the cookies that were left is \(\frac{1}{5}\).
