Answer 1

The correct option is B no

$5\frac{20}{100}$
Fractional part: $\frac{20}{100}$
Factors of 20 : 1, 2, 4 ,5, 10,20
Factors of 100: 1, 2, 4 ,5, 10,20 , 50, 100
GCF- 20
$\therefore \frac{20}{100}=\frac{1\times 20}{5\times 20}$
$=\frac{1}{5}$
As whole part is the same, hence $5\frac{20}{100}$ can be written as $5\frac{1}{5}$ in its simplest form.
