Answer:

The answer is 1/625

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because 5a = 1/125

Therefore, to find the value of "a" we need to divide!

So, a = 1/125 / 5

⇒ 1/125 × 1/5 ( Reciprocal when we divide )

⇒ 1/125 × 5

→ 1/625

I hope this answer helps!

If Missy packed the remaining chocolates into individual bags with 13 chocolates in each bag, then there will be $\frac{26}{13} =2$ numbers of individual bags of chocolates left with Missy. (Answer)
