Answer:

The answer would be B!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which expression is equivalent, do the distributive property.

A. 1/5 * 4x = 4/5x

    1/5 * 1/1 = 1/5

4/5x + 1/5  <--- This is wrong!

B.  2/5 * 2x = 4/5x

    2/5 * 3/1 = 6/5 = 1 1/5

4/5x + 1 1/5 <--- This is correct!

C. 4/5 * x = 4/5x

    4/5 * 2/1 = 8/5

4/5x + 8/5 <--- This is wrong!

D. 5/4*x = 5/4x

    5/4 * 1/1 = 5/4

5/4x + 5/4 <--- This is wrong!

Therefore, the answer is B!  Hope this helps!
