Answer: The required simplest mixed number is 2 2 1 .
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to write the following fraction as a mixed number in the simplest form :
f = 8 20 ( i )
To convert the given number into simplest mixed fraction, first we need to cancel the common factors of both of them.
We have from expression (i) that
f = 8 20 = 4 × 2 4 × 5 = 2 5 = 2 2 1 .
Thus, the required simplest mixed number is 2 2 1 .
The fraction 8 20 can be expressed as a mixed number, which is 2 2 1 . This is achieved by dividing 20 by 8, which gives a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 4. The fractional part 8 4 simplifies to 2 1 , resulting in the final answer: 2 2 1 .
