Let’s go through each question one by one and solve them carefully.

Question 1: Reduce the fraction 16/20
We need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 16 and 20.
Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
→ GCF is 4
Now divide both numerator and denominator by 4:
16 ÷ 4 = 4
20 ÷ 4 = 5
So, 16/20 reduces to
4/5
✔ Correct answer:
B

Question 2: Write 12/4 as a mixed number
Divide 12 by 4 → 12 ÷ 4 = 3 with no remainder.
That means it’s just a whole number:
3
Mixed numbers are for when there’s a remainder. Since there’s none, it’s just 3.
✔ Correct answer:
A

Question 3: Write 22/3 as a mixed number
Divide 22 by 3:
3 × 7 = 21 → so 7 whole parts
Remainder = 22 - 21 = 1
So, 22/3 =
7 and 1/3
✔ Correct answer:
D

Question 4: Write 36/4 as a mixed number
Divide 36 by 4 → 36 ÷ 4 = 9 exactly.
No remainder → so it’s just
9
✔ Correct answer:
C

Question 5: Compare 1/2 and 1/3 — which symbol is correct?
Think about pizza slices:
- If you split a pizza into 2 pieces, each piece is bigger than if you split it into 3 pieces.
- So 1/2 > 1/3
You can also convert to decimals:
1/2 = 0.5
1/3 ≈ 0.333...
0.5 > 0.333 → so 1/2 > 1/3
✔ Correct answer:
A

Final Answer:
1. B
2. A
3. D
4. C
5. A
