Gina will eat
(3)/(20) pound cheese for lunch each day

Explanation

Amount of cheese bought = 1 pound and the amount of cheese used =
(1)/(4) * 1 pound = (1)/(4) pound

So, the remaining amount of cheese
= (1- (1)/(4) )pound = (3)/(4) pound

As this
(3)/(4) pound cheese is splitting into 5 equal parts, so the amount of each part will be:
(3)/(4) ÷ 5 =
(3)/(4) ×
(1)/(5) =
(3)/(20) pound

So, Gina will eat
(3)/(20) pound cheese for lunch each day.
