OpenStudy (legomyego180):
Correct. Im assuming this problem is wanting you to reduce. Notice if you divide one of the answers, 16/20 by two you will get your original question.
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Your 8/10 is not a formula; it's an expression. Please include the instructions that came with it. I'd bet that the instructions say, "Reduce to lowest terms."
