Answer:

Step-by-step 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.

Just made it up on the spot :)

Jared invited his friends over for lunch. He bought a pizza and ate 3/4 of it himself before calling his friends. He called Bob, Matombe, Steve, Owen, and Bill. Now, Jared must divide the 1/4 of the pizza into 5 parts for his friends to eat.

Joe's Painting charges $100 plus $20 per hour to paint the exterior of your home. Steve's Painting charges $120 plus $15 per hou

Tanzania [10]

Joe's Painting: 20x + 100 = y

Steve's Painting: 15x + 120 = y

x = hours worked

y = total income

We can find when the two equations intersect by making them equal to each other. That means we put an equal sign in the middle. So, it would look something like this:

20x + 100 = 15x + 120

First, we have to move the 100 by subtracting it from both sides.

20x = 15x + 120 - (100)

20x = 15x + 20

Then, we need to move the 15x by subtracting it from both sides.

20 - (15x) = 20

5x = 20

Lastly, we need to divide 5 from both sides.

5x = 20/5

x = 4

Therefore, Joe and Steve would have to work for 4 hours in order for their models to be equal to each other.
