First let's reduce the fraction. This almost always makes a problem with fractions easier. Since 15 divides evenly into 300 and 45 we reduce the numerator and denominator by a factor of 15:

Now we can convert this improper fraction into a mixed number. Divide 20 by 3:

20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2. So . (Note where the quotient and the remainder go in the mixed number.)
