Hurry in need for the product of 5 and a number x is 1/4 . what is the value of x.

We are given 5 and x need to multiply ( the product represents multiplication operation).

"The product of 5 and a number x is 1/4" statement can be expressed as in equation form.

5 * x = 1/4 .

On multiplying 5 and x, we get 5x.

Therefore, 5 * x = 1/4 can be written as

5x =1/4.

We are solving it for unknow number x.

So, we need to isolate it for x on left side.

We need to get rid 5 from left side in order to isolate it for x.

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

x=

Therefore, required number is 1/20.

So, second option 1/20 is correct option.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
