How could you use the product of 1/5x 40 to find the product of 4/5 x 40?
Subtract the product of 1/5 * 40 from 40.
We multiply 1/5 times 40 as step 1.
(1/5)(40) = 8
We now subtract the product 8 from 40.
So, 40 - 8 = 32.
The answer is 32.
you multiply 1/5x40= 8 then multiply 8 by 4 to get 32 as your answer.
To calculate the product of 1/5x 40, you would multiply the numerator (1) by the whole number (40) and divide by the denominator (5).
So, (1/5) x 40 = (1 x 40) / 5 = 40/5 = 8.
Now, to find the product of 4/5 x 40 using the result from the previous calculation, you would multiply the numerator (4) by the whole number (40) and divide by the denominator (5).
(4/5) x 40 = (4 x 40) / 5 = 160/5 = 32.
So, the product of 4/5 x 40 is 32.
