Equivalent fraction:

#16/20-=4/5" another one is "16/20-=32/40#

You could make a very long list if you chose.
However, 'simplify' only has one answer and that is #4/5# as the 5 is a prime number.

Explanation:

Notice that 4 will divide exactly into each number

So #16/20-=(16-:4)/(20-:4)=4/5#

Or you could go the other way. It is still an equivalent fraction

#color(green)(16/20color(red)(xx1)" "->" "16/20color(red)(xx2/2) = 32/40)#
