What number is 4 times 1/8 of 80?

The correct answer is: 32

To solve the problem, we need to follow a mathematical sequence. The question asks us to find a number that is 4 times 1/8 of 80. First, we need to calculate 1/8 of 80. To do this, we divide 80 by 8: 80 ÷ 8 = 10. Next, we take the result (which is 10) and multiply it by 4: 10 × 4 = 40. Thus, the number that is 4 times 1/8 of 80 is 40. This is the correct answer because it accurately reflects the calculations required by the question. The other options do not represent the result of the calculations performed; therefore, they do not provide the correct answer in the context given.
