Answer:
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
