A long ribbon is shared so that 4/5 of it is used for a craft. The leftover 1/5 measures 12 cm. If the same fractions were rewritten with denominator 25, what numerator would represent the USED part?

Question

Accepted Answer

20. Used part = 4/5. Convert to denominator 25: 5×5 = 25, so 4×5 = 20. The numerator is 20 (the 12 cm detail is extra information).

A long ribbon is shared so that $\frac{4}{5}$ of it is used for a craft.
The leftover $\frac{1}{5}$ measures 12 cm.
If the same fractions were rewritten with denominator 25, what numerator would represent the USED part?
