It seems you want to add two fractions, but the notation you've used is a bit unusual. Assuming you want to add 9/20 and 7/20, the addition would be as follows:
9/20 + 7/20
Since the denominators are the same, you can just add the numerators:
(9 + 7)/20
= 16/20
Now, to simplify the fraction to its simplest form, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4 in this case:
16 ÷ 4 = 4
20 ÷ 4 = 5
So, the simplified fraction is:
4/5
The answer in simplest form is not listed in the options you've provided. However, if there was a mistake in the options and if "45" is meant to be "4/5," then that would be the correct choice. Otherwise, none of the responses you provided (1620, 16/20, 16/40, 4/10, 45) are the correct simplest form of the sum of the fractions 9/20 and 7/20. The correct simplest form is 4/5.
