Answer:

The correct answer option is D. 5.

Explanation:

We are given the following expression where 4 is to be divided by a fraction 1/5:


4 รท
(1)/(5)

This can also be written as:


(4)/((1)/(5) )

Now to find the quotient of this, we will take the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator to change it into multiplication.


4 * (5)/(1)

Therefore, ignoring the 1 in denominator, we can simply multiply 4 by 5.
