Respuesta :

1/2 because 2/4 is just half of 4/5

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 * x = 2/5

We need to multiply by the reciprocal to get x alone

The reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4

Multiply both side by 5/4

5/4 * 4/5 *x = 2/5 *5/4

x = 10/20

We can simplify by by dividing the top and bottom by 10

x = 1/2
