A family monthly income is 2000 and the spent 400 each month on food, right amount they spend on food as a fraction of the monthly income in the lowest term?

Answer 1

The fraction that represents the amount they spend on food as a fraction of their monthly income is:

400 ÷ 2000

Simplifying this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 400, we get:

400 ÷ 400 ÷ 2000 ÷ 400 =

1/5

Therefore, the amount they spend on food as a fraction of their monthly income in the lowest term is 1/5.
