\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathsf{4(5 * (1)/(20))}\\\\\mathsf{= 4*5*(1)/(20)}\\\\\mathsf{= 4(5)((1)/(20))}\\\\\mathsf{= 20 * (1)/(20)}\\\\\mathsf{= (20)/(1)*(1)/(20)}\\\\\mathsf{= (20*1)/(1*20)}\\\\\mathsf{= (20)/(20)}\\\\\mathsf{= 20/ 20}\\\\\mathsf{= 1}\\\\\\\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{1}}\huge\checkmark
