Ok, so the equation is (2/5)m=8
1st option: Divide by 2 on both sides, then multiply by 5 on both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{10}m=4 \\ \frac{10}{10}m=20 \\ m=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]
2nd option: Multiply both sides by 5/2
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{2}m=8\cdot\frac{5}{2} \\ m=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]
3rd option: First dristibute 2/5 to (m=8), the multiply by 5/2 in both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{5}m=8 \\ \frac{5}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{5}m=8\cdot\frac{5}{2} \\ m=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]
4th option: Divide both sides by 2/5:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{2}{5}}m=8\cdot\frac{5}{2} \\ m=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]
5th option: First, multiply by 5. Then, divide by 2.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5\cdot\frac{2}{5}m=40 \\ 2m/2=40/2 \\ m=20 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
All the methods are correct
