Answer:

C = 1.

Explanation:

A: 4/5 x 3/3 (1) = 4/5, Incase you didn't know, 3/3 means 1 whole because it is full. We can tell by just looking that this doesn't represent a value greater than 4/5, In fact, it's equal to 4/5.

B: 4/5 x 1/2 = 2/5 <--- By not using any calculator or math, we already know that 4/5 is greater than 2/5 and that 2/5 is less than 4/5. This is not the correct answer because it's less than 4/5.

C: 4/5 x 5/4 = 1. This could be a correct answer choice because one is greater than 4/5. If your confused, think of it like this, 5/5 is equal to one and then there's 4/5. Then you compare and contrast and see that 5/5 is greater than 4/5 so this is a correct answer choice.

D: 4/5 x 4/5 is equal to 16/25. In my opinion, I wouldn't choose this answer choice because though the numbers are bigger than 4/5, 4/5 IS equal to 16/25, so it wouldn't really be a correct answer choice.

Hope this helped!
