Okay, here we have this:

Aida has 5/4 meters of ribbon, and she makes pieces of 1/4 meter, the problem ask us the expression that determines how many pieces she will get:

So, according with this we have here the following division:

Initial size=5/4 meters

Pieces size=1/4 meters

Number of pieces=Initial size / Pieces size


(5)/(4)/(1)/(4)

This means that the correct answer is option A.
