Nikhil · Answer

\frac{2}{5}  of x is  8

=>  \frac{2}{5} * x  = 8

=> x =  8 * \frac{5}{2}  =  \frac{40}{2}  = 20

=>  \frac{1}{4} * x  =  \frac{1}{4} * 20  = 5

Hence option D

ScottTargetTestPrep · Answer

(2/5)x = 8

x = 8(5/2)

x = 20

So 1/4 of 20 is 5.

Answer: D

Abhishek009 · Answer

\frac{2x}{5}  =  8

Now,  \frac{x}{4}  =  \frac{20}{4} = 5 ,   Answer must be (D)
