A lawn mowing company had to mow 5/9 of a mile of grass. To make it easier, they split the amount evenly between four workers. What fraction of the mile did each person now? Do you have to divide subtract multiple or add

You would have to divide in order to know how much each worker mowed to make it easier. You would divide 5/9 and 4 and get 5/36. Each worker mowed 5/36 of the grass.
