Andi is in charge of giving prizes to teams at a mathematic competition. With each prize, she also wants to give each member of the team an equal amount of mints. How much will each team member get if Andi has ¼ pound of mints for 4 students?

We have to divide 1/4 by 4. An easy trick to dividing fractions is to flip the second number and multiply straight across.

So after we flip the second number, our problem looks like:

1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 lbs of mints per 1 team member.
