To solve the expression \( \frac{8}{20} \div 4 \), we first rewrite the division by 4 as multiplication by its reciprocal:
\[
\frac{8}{20} \div 4 = \frac{8}{20} \times \frac{1}{4}
\]
Now, we multiply the fractions:
\[
\frac{8 \times 1}{20 \times 4} = \frac{8}{80}
\]
Next, we simplify \( \frac{8}{80} \). We can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 8:
\[
\frac{8 \div 8}{80 \div 8} = \frac{1}{10}
\]
Thus, the answer in simplest form is:
\[
\frac{1}{10}
\]
\[
\frac{8}{20} \div 4 = \frac{8}{20} \times \frac{1}{4}
\]
Now, we multiply the fractions:
\[
\frac{8 \times 1}{20 \times 4} = \frac{8}{80}
\]
Next, we simplify \( \frac{8}{80} \). We can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 8:
\[
\frac{8 \div 8}{80 \div 8} = \frac{1}{10}
