(0.4)^1/0.5
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{{0.4}^{1}}{0.5}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[\frac{{0.4}^{1}}{0.5} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8\]
\[\begin{aligned}\frac{{0.4}^{1}}{0.5}& = \left(\frac{4}{10}\right)^{1} \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{5}{10}}\\& = \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{1} \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{5}{10}}\\& = \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{5}{10}}\\& = \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}\\& = \frac{4}{5}\end{aligned}\]
