Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given division problem :
20/2(5+5)

here, dividend = 20

and divisor =
2(5+5)=2(10)=20

Now, the division problem becomes :
20/20

Since, we know that
20*1=20

Therefore,
20/20=1

Therefore, when we 20 divided by 2(5+5) we get 1 (quotient).

The correct answer is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:
The way this is written, everything after the words "divided by" would be calculated first; it is written as though this is a grouping, such as 20/(2*(5+5)). We would evaluate the innermost parentheses first; 5+5=10. Then this gives us 2*10=20 in our parentheses. 20/20 = 1.
