Gia had 1 pound of cheese . She used 1/4 of it.
So 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
She split the rest into 5 equal portions.
So 3/4 divided by 5
Therefore your answer is a.) 3/4 divided by 5
Hope this helps!

the answer is A, because she took away 1/4 which makes 3/4 rest. so to split it in 5 equal parts just divide it in 5
