Or

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

When dividing numbers by fractions, we can simply multiply the umber by the reciprocal of the decimal. So,

4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × (reciprocal of 1/5)

A reciprocal of a number is the same number written under 1. aka, 1 divided by that number, which simply is flipping the numerator and denominator of a number.

So the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1 = 5.

So 4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × 5.

So your answer is 5.
