Answer:

bc/5

Step-by-step explanation:

8bcd

-------------

40d

Divide this into pieces

8        b         c         d

----- * ------ * ----- * -------

40        1        1        d

Cancel like terms

1        b         c         1

----- * ------ * ----- * -------

5        1        1        1

This leaves us

bc/5

Answer:  [tex]\frac{bc}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the expression is:

[tex]\frac{8bcd}{40d}[/tex]

You need to remember that:

[tex]\frac{a}{a}=1[/tex]

Then, knowing this, you can simplify the expression:

[tex]=\frac{8bc(1)}{40}[/tex]

 [tex]=\frac{8bc}{40}[/tex]

Now, you need to reduce [tex]\frac{8}{40}[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{8}{40}=\frac{4}{20}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Finally, rewritting the expression, you get this result:

[tex]=\frac{1bc}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{bc}{5}[/tex]
