(10)/(1)Answer:

lydia's answer is correct.

Explanation

4/5 X 10=8 because


(4)/(5) X
(10)/(1) -->we do the denominator first so 5 x 1 = 5 so now it's


(4)/(5)
(10)/(5) so 4 X 10= 2 x 5(we replace 10 with that ) over 5 and the you will be left with 4 x 2 over 5 that is because 5 and 5 canceled out so

now you're left with this 4 x 2 = 8 so 8 is you final answer without the fraction :) hope this helps
