Answer:

c/5-4

Explanation:

distributive property rule is If a(b+c) then a*b+a*c

so we apply the rule to this expression

4/5*1/4c-4/5*5

we can write as

4 1 4 5

_ * _ c - _ * __ (remember PEM/D A/S Rule and multiply straight across)

5 4 5 1

4 20

_ c - __

20 5

simplify 4/20 as 1/4 and divide 5 from 20 you get 5

1

_ c -4 is the simplified expression

5

also written as c/5-4
