4 0

Shawna got 16 items correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of answers or part of total answers we multiply the fraction with the total number of items.

Given

Total items on test = 20

Correct items fraction = 4/5

Then,

$Correct\ items=\total\ items * \fraction\ of\ correct\ answers\\= 20 * \frac{4}{5}\\=\frac{80}{5}\\=16$

Shawna got 16 items correct
