Answer 1

Answer:$\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the fraction is $\frac{64}{80}$ right, but notice that the numerator and denominator are both divisible by 16.

64 divided by 16 is 4,

80 divided by 16 is 5.

$\frac{4}{5}$

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Charidee sold 64 out of 80 mangoes, or 64/80 of the mangoes.

That fraction reduces to ...

  64/80 = (16·4)/(16·5) = (16/16)·4/5 = 4/5

Mr. Charidee sold 4/5 of the total number of mangoes.
