If you see the question says "HOW" do you reduce?
20 and 35 are both multiples of 5 as you can see. Therefore, divide both sides by 5.
20/5 = 4
35/5 = 7
20/35 will be equivalent to 4/7.
To check, multiply both sides by 5 to get 20/35.

first, turn 20 into 2*2*5 and 35 into 7*5 (prime factorization)
both terms have the number five in them, so you divide by five
20/5 = 4; 35/5 = 7
your new fraction is 4/7

Here is how everyone figures these things out
20 = 2x2x5
35 = 5x7
Eliminate a 5 on the top and bottom and you have left
2x2 and 7 so it is 4/7
