Answer:16/20
Step-by-step explanation:
if you divide the two numbers by 4 you have:
16/4=4
20/4=5
(if you divide or multiply both of the numbers with the same number, the ratio will remain the same)
So the two numbers are same

Combine like terms
3f - 5g - f - 2g...lets do some rearranging to make it easier
3f - f - 5g - 2g =
2f - 7g <===
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the new fraction is 8/12 I will show how to find it.
Let's say the original denominator is x, then the numerator is x-4, so we have (x-4)/x.
Then it says f we add 4 to both, so now we have x/(x+4) this equals 8/12. Now, keep in mind -4 cannot be an answer because it would make x/(x+4) be divided by 0 which wouldn't exist.
Now we just use algebra.
x/(x+4) = 8/12
12x = 8(x+4)
12x = 8x + 32
4x = 32
x = 8
So the original fraction (x-4)/x = (8-4)/8 = 4/8
