you want mixed number or simplified form?
OpenStudy (b.r):
I got 31 / 20 too.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 31 }{ 20} \]
OpenStudy (b.r):
Simplified.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then it would be 1 11/20

Oh! Can you explain why tho?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have 31 over 20, how many times does 20 go into 31 evenly?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well 20 (20 is your denominator) goes into 31 (31 is your numerator) only one time... So, that one time that 20 goes into 31 would be the 1 you see in front of your fraction. Then, if you subtract 20 from 31, there is 11 left and that would be your new numerator, 11 is a prime number so you cannot simplify it anymore. Does that make sense?
OpenStudy (b.r):
Oh! I get it now.

@maddi4611 But- mistake. 31/ 20. So, I'mma go with that one.
