You have 8 oz left. These are both divisible by 4 so 20/4 = 5 and 8/4=2 put these together and you have 2/5 or 2 parts of the original 5 parts. or 40%

reduce 12/20.....so you'd find the common divisor (i don't remember if that's the right word). So the top number: 12/2=6. 6/2=3. divide 20/2=10 10/2=5. So the answer is actually 3/5. check it by dividing the top number into the bottom. So, 12 divided by 20 is .6 and so is 3 divided by 5.

20-12=8. So u are left with 8/20 or 2/5 (divide thru by 4)

20/20 - 12/20 = 8/20
8/20 each divided by 4 = 2/5

12/20=6/10=3/5 is how much you drink so you take that amount from 5/5.

Do you see the glass as 3/5 empty or 2/5 full?

(20 - 12)/20 = 8/20 = 2/5
Therefore:
2/5 of the water remains.

20oz - 12 oz = 8 oz left
8oz/20oz = 2/5
