Answer:


5a^6b

Explanation:

To simplify this expression, we can divide 20a^8b^2 by 4a^2b.

First, we can simplify the numbers by dividing 20 by 4 to get 5.

Then, we can simplify the variables by subtracting the exponents of the same bases (a and b).


(20)/(4) ·
(a^8)/(a^2) ·
(b^2)/(b)


5 ·
a^6 ·
b

This gives us the simplified expression 5a^6b. So the answer would be the third one down, or
5a^6b.
