Answer 2

Hey there!

The answer to your question is
`(1)/(20)`

To solve this we must divide
`(1)/(4)` by
`5`.

To do this, we can multiply
`(1)/(4)` by the reciprocal of
`5`, or
`(1)/(5)`.

`(1)/(4) * (1)/(5)`

`(1)/(20)`

Therefore, Andy used
`(1)/(20)` of a can of paint on each wall of his house.

Hope it helps, have a great day, and stay safe! You've got this!
