haseeb96 · Answer

put its answer dont match with the given answer 
now put 24 
when we will solve this 20/24 
you will get 5/6
So C is the correct answer

geerky42 · Answer

No, for example in $\dfrac{1}{2}$, when you multiply numerator by 2, you must do same for denominator, so value of fraction won't change.

$\dfrac{1\times2}{2\times2}$

geerky42 · Answer

Here, you have $\dfrac{5}{6}$

What should you do to numerator to get to 20?
