Let me post a similar question and answer it.

Question: There is 1/4 gallon of water in a 4-gallon container. What fraction of the container is full?

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the fraction of the 4-gallon container that is full, we'll need to divide 1/4 by 4;


((1)/(4))/(4)=(1)/(4)\ast(1)/(4)=(1)/(16)

So the fraction of the container that is full is 1/16.
