Solve 20/420 and remember to add the partial quotients to find the actual quotient.

0.0476

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve 20/420,

We first reduce the numerator and denominator to its lowest terms(we are not using long division method) :

In the fraction 20/420, we cancel out the zeros =2/42

In the fraction 2/42, 2 will divide numerator and denominator so =1/21

To find the actual quotient, we are sure to get a result of decimal number since numerator is already smaller than denominator,

Therefore 1/21= 0.0476 to 4 decimal places

Note : we add zero to the numerator till it can be divided by 21(even with a remainder) hence the "0.0" before 4
