Question

Can someone help me “Write a story problem to represent 1/4 divided by 5”

Answer 1

Explanation:

If 1/4 is divided by 5 we can think about it as 1/4 is a quarter of a whole and we need to divide that quarter in 5 equal parts.

Story Problem:

Alexa has 5 more days to finish reading the ELA book assigned by her teacher. She still has to read 1/4 of the book. What fraction of the book she should read on each of the 5 days to ensure she will be done in time?

(1/4 ) / 5 = (1/4) *(1/5) = 1 / 20

If Alexa reads 1/20 of the book each day she will finish the book in 5 days.
