The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Lenox ironed 1/4 of the shirts over the weekend. She plans to split the remainder of the work equally over the next 5 evenings. What fraction of the shirts will Lenox iron each day after school?

Answer:

3/20

Explanation:

Lenox ironed 1/4 of the shirts during the weekend

She plans to split the remaining work equally over the next five evenings

The first step is to calculate the number of shirts that will be left to iron

= 1-1/4

= 3/4

Therefore the fraction of the shirts that Lenox will iron each day after school can be calculated as follows

= 3/4 /5

= 3/4 × 1/5

= 3/20

Hence the fraction of shirts that Lenox will iron each day after school is 3/20
