Question

Hi if anyone is able to simplify this problem please help me and do so

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

26 = 2 * 13

8 = 2 * 4

so we can simply as below.

$\dfrac{26}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{2*13}{2*4}\\\\\boxed{=\dfrac{13}{4}}$

Thank you

Answer 2

$\dfrac{26}{8}=\dfrac{13\cdot2}{4\cdot2}=\,\boxed{\,\dfrac{13}4\,}\,=\dfrac{3\cdot4+1}4=3\frac14$

or if its 20, not 26:

$\dfrac{20}{8}=\dfrac{4\cdot5}{4\cdot2}=\, \boxed{\,\dfrac{5}2\,}\, =\dfrac{2\cdot2+1}2=2\frac12$
