-Answer:
lydia's answer is correct.
Step-by-step explanation
4/5 X 10=8 because
X
-->we do the denominator first so 5 x 1 = 5 so now it's
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

How to Simplify a Ratio A : B when A and B are both whole numbers:
- List the factors of A
- List the factors of B
- Find the greatest common factor of A and B, GCF(A, B)
- Divide A and B each by the GCF
- Use the whole number results to rewrite the ratio in simplest form
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
<em>The GCF of 14 and 4 is 2</em>
Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:
14 ÷ 2 = 7
4 ÷ 2 = 2
The ratio 14 : 4 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
Therefore:
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
