Question

1. (\frac{8}{24}) (\bigcirc) (\frac{20}{60})

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify $\frac{8}{24}$

To simplify $\frac{8}{24}$, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8. So, $\frac{8\div8}{24\div8}=\frac{1}{3}$.

Step2: Simplify $\frac{20}{60}$

To simplify $\frac{20}{60}$, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20. So, $\frac{20\div20}{60\div20}=\frac{1}{3}$.

Step3: Compare the two simplified fractions

Since both $\frac{8}{24}$ simplifies to $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{20}{60}$ also simplifies to $\frac{1}{3}$, we have $\frac{8}{24}=\frac{20}{60}$.

Answer:

$\frac{8}{24}=\frac{20}{60}$ (The symbol in the circle is $=$)
