Amahle has a piece of fabric that is 1/5 meter long. She cuts it into 4 equal-sized pieces.
What is the length, in meters, of each piece of fabric? Move numbers to the boxes to show the answer. If there is no whole number, put a 0 in the first box.
Each piece of fabric is 1/5 ÷ 4 = <<1/5 ÷ 4=1/20>>1/20 meter long. Answer: \boxed{0}\,.\boxed{05}.
To find the length of each piece of fabric, we need to divide the total length of the fabric (1/5 meter) by the number of equal-sized pieces (4).
The length of each piece of fabric is obtained by dividing 1/5 by 4.
1/5 ÷ 4 = 1/5 × 1/4 = (1 × 1) / (5 × 4) = 1/20 meter.
Therefore, the length of each piece of fabric is 1/20 meter.
To find the length of each piece of fabric, we need to divide the total length of the fabric by the number of pieces it was cut into.
The total length of the fabric is given as 1/5 meter. We need to divide this length by 4 since it was cut into 4 equal-sized pieces.
To divide fractions, we multiply the numerator (top number) of the first fraction by the denominator (bottom number) of the second fraction, and the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first fraction.
So, to find the length of each piece, we will perform the following calculation:
(1/5) ÷ 4 = (1/5) * (1/4)
Multiplying the numerators, we get 1 * 1 = 1.
Multiplying the denominators, we get 5 * 4 = 20.
Therefore, the length of each piece of fabric is 1/20 meter.
