1.

20/5 = (5*4)/5 = 4

=======================================================
2.

19/4 = (16+3)/4 = 16/4 + 3/4 = 4 + 3/4 = 4 3/4 (this is a mixed number)

=======================================================
3.

22/7 = (21+1)/7 = 21/7 + 1/7 = 3 + 1/7 = 3 1/7 (this is a mixed number)
=======================================================
4.

39/10 = (30+9)/10 = 30/10 + 9/10 = 3 + 9/10 = 3 9/10 (this is a mixed number)
=======================================================
5.

19/10 = (10+9)/10 = 10/10 + 9/10 = 1 + 9/10 = 1 9/10 (this is a mixed number)
