Answer 7

I'm willing to help you if you're willing to calculate some things. Anyway, so 2 is the GFC. Now, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

40÷2=?
6÷2=?

Answer 10

but the site i'm on says 20/3 is wrong

Answer 11

If you're looking for another answer, 20/3 cannot be simplified any further than it can be as a fraction.
6 can't go into 40 equally, it has a remainder. 6 can go into 40, 6 times, with a remainder of 4.
