20/8

2. PhoenixFire Group Title

20 slices given out and each slice is 1/8th of an apple. $20*{1 \over 8}={20 \over 8}$ Can you simplify 20/8?

3. Shogun Group Title

Help me out?

4. PhoenixFire Group Title

Well 20/8 is the same as 10/4 which is the same as 5/2. <-- Can you see what I've done there?

5. Shogun Group Title

Oh okay I see

6. PhoenixFire Group Title

So now, how many 2s fit into 5? How many are left over?

7. Shogun Group Title

1 is left over right?

8. PhoenixFire Group Title

9. Shogun Group Title

Would it be A?

10. PhoenixFire Group Title

No.. Let's try a different way. You have five halves. $5*{1 \over 2}={1 \over 2}+{1 \over 2}+{1 \over 2}+{1 \over 2}+{1 \over 2}=?$

11. Shogun Group Title

Its D

12. PhoenixFire Group Title
