Question

If we can represent $\frac{29}{5}$ in the form of $a\frac{b}{5}$, then find a and b.

• A. $a=5$
• B. $b=4$
• C. $a=4$
• D. $b=5$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A $a=5$
B $b=4$

We have

$\frac{29}{5}=\frac{25+4}{5}=\frac{(5\times 5)+4}{5}=5\frac{4}{5}$

On comparing $a\frac{b}{5}$ with $5\frac{4}{5}$, we get
$a=5$ and $b=4$
