Answer 1

`(1)/(20)\ \text{yards}`

Explanation:

Given that,

Renee has 1/4 yard of floral fabric.

She cuts it into 5 equal pieces.

We need to find the length of each new piece of fabric. It is equal to the total length divided by the total number of pieces. So,

`l=((1)/(4))/(5)\\\\=(1)/(4)* (1)/(5)\\\\=(1)/(20)\ \text{yards}`

So, each new piece pf fabric is
`(1)/(20)\ \text{yards}`.
