Whenever we divide by a fraction, we change division to multiplication & flip the fraction which is a divisor.

The rule

$\frac{a}{b}/ \frac{c}{d}$

= $\frac{a}{b}.\frac{d}{c}$

Here we need to divide 1/5 by 4

But 4 can also be written as 4/1

So we have

$\frac{1}{5} /\frac{4}{1}$

$\frac{1}{5} . \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{20}$

The value of the expression 1/5 divided by 4 is 1/20 or 0.05.
