Question

What is 275 divided by 20 in lowest form? Please explain it like you would explain it to a 4 yr old cuz I’m really stupid. I keep getting 13 remainder of 15 but when I look it up it says it 13 3/4 so what do I do to go from 13 remainder of 15 to 13 3/4?

Answer 1

Answer: So think about it this way. 20 goes into 200 ten times, right?

After that, you have 75 left. 20 goes into 60 3 times. After that, you have 15 left.

But wait, 20 can't go into 15 as a whole. So you have to make that a fraction.

15/20. That fraction can be simplified! Divide each part by five. The you get 3/4.

So add up the times you put 20 in. First it was 10 to get to 200, then it was 3 to get to 60. Then it was 3/4 to get to 15.

Now you have 13  3/4
