Question

Brian has a chunk of cheese that weighs 5 lb. He wants to divide the chunk into smaller pieces that weigh 1/4 lb each. How many smaller pieces will he have?

Answer 1

He will have 20 smaller pieces of cheese.
To get the quotient you must divide 5 by 1/4. Since 1/4 is a fraction, turning it into a decimal would be .25.
5
$5 \div .25$
$= 20$
