To expand the expression \( 0.25 \left( \frac{x}{0.25} \right) \), we can simplify it step by step.
-
Simplify \( \frac{x}{0.25} \): Since \( \frac{1}{0.25} = 4 \) (because 0.25 is the same as \( \frac{1}{4} \)), we have: \[ \frac{x}{0.25} = x \times 4 = 4x \]
-
Now substitute back into the expression: \[ 0.25 \left( \frac{x}{0.25} \right) = 0.25 \times 4x \]
-
Multiply \( 0.25 \) by \( 4 \): \[ 0.25 \times 4 = 1 \]
-
So the final expanded form is: \[ 1 \cdot x = x \]
Thus, the answer in expanded form is simply \( x \).
